A.S. Face 2142: Suelita van Breda
I am in Cape Town, South Africa and am part of various AS groups on Facebook, eg. AS in South Africa , Ankylosing Spondylitis, The face of Ankylosing Spondylitis, etc.
I was diagnosed with RA at 25, started treatment i.e. Methotrexate, Salazopyrin, Celebrex, folic acid and went into remission within 2 years. I was symptom free for approximately 15years. Then at 42years old I woke up one day and I could barely walk. Started Biologics, had bilateral knee Replacements, and now on my 3rd Biologic, Simponi. I am 45years old now and been on Medical Disability for a year now.
I would like to create more awareness of AS as it is clearly lacking in my social and professional circles.
