Hello and welcome to KA.
I was on Remicade for 4.5 years until it stopped working for me. Then, I switched to Enbrel.
I can't speak for India, but Remicade has been proved effective for treatment of AS. It does not stop the disease, but it does slow the progression of it a great deal. Many of us who have taken it have found that we have greater energy, our ability to live our lives well increase, we have greater quality of life. How much you can move or bend over doesn't determine whether we need these medications. There are many criteria that must be met, but mainly ... how does your AS impact your ability to live your life.
When I was on Remicade, I started with 3 vials, which was my dose for over a year. I had infusions at weeks 0, 2 and 6, then every 8 weeks after that. When I gained weight (20lbs because my body was no longer attacking itself), they upped my frequency to 7 weeks and my dose to 4 vials. These medications are expensive, but for a great many of us (unfortunately, not all) our ability to live life, go back to work, continue working, helps to make up for it. Luckily, I had a very good benefit plan through work, so I could afford to have it.
By the way, I worked with a naturopath for 2 years before I allowed my rheumatologist to start prescribing medications for me. Sadly, it didn't work well enough, although it did help somewhat. I hope you can combat this effectively through your Homeopath.
Yoga, pilates, walking, swimming ... these are key for us as well. Whatever you do, make sure your day includes stretching, cardio and strengthening exercise.
I hope some of this helps.
Warm hugs,
