For the first time in years (probably around 10) I feel normal.

After my condition worsened to the point I had been laying on the couch all day for the last few months, I finally relented and decided to try Humira. I'm an idiot for being so hard- headed about making this NSD work. I had been trying it (NSD)for the last year with very limited success thinking all along I just needed to fine tune the diet and I would be pain free.

I swear I feel 20 years old again. I forgot what it was like to feel this way. I promise you I'm not a drug rep or anything. In fact, I had grown to hate the fact that my doctors had contributed to my ruined gut with NSAID's and had decided to avoid drugs even if it kills me.

I took my first injection last Friday. Monday I ran 3 miles AND worked a full day. That hasn't happened in like, forever! I'm a cattle rancher so I have a physically demanding job.

I feel like I've gotten my life back. Anyway, just wanted to share with people who truly understand how [*bleep*] AS really is. Thanks for listening.
