I was just diagnosed in the last year, I don’t know how long I have had it but the inflammation between my AS and Crohn’s caused my heart to have an aneurysm. First but not last open heart surgery due to this disease!

My name is Kendell and I and 18 years old. I was diagnosed last year. It started with one day when I woke up with left hip pain when I was 16 years old. It was a long two years, I saw many specialists. I am now on Humira and Methotraxate which is finally giving me some relief. It has affected almost all of my joints in my body. I also got uveitis in my left eye which lasted a month. I am in my first year of university to become a nurse.
