My, do I understand auto-immune diseases; having been diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in July of 2016... having lesions on my brain, neck, and spine, is "not" something I thought I would have to experience... nor deal with.

I had never heard of your disease until now...

Ankylosing spondylitis (pronounced ank-kih-low-sing spon-dill-eye-tiss), or AS, is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, although other joints can become involved. It causes inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae) that can lead to severe, chronic pain and discomfort.

We do what we can... remain positive...pray, in my case. I appreciate your follow, and have done the same, my friend. I look forward to your continued posts...

Love and light
