I had a debilitating lower backache that went down to my buttock and down to the legs at my early twenties. I wasn't able to walk anymore and for 25 days I battle against everyone to prove I wasn't crazy, that what I had was real and not product of my imagination or, as some doctors said, a "psychosomatic disorder". I was in a wheelchair for all those 25 days and after seeing nine different doctors I was finally diagnosed with AS!!
It was with alive that I received this diagnosis!! Until I realized that a "new life" was ahead of me and I would have to learn how to live with a debilitating condition!
