Hello everyone,
My name is Jesse and I would like to start off this post by saying that I am so happy to meet all of you! I have been dealing with AS here in Oregon for 5 years now and have felt like I was the only one. It's so nice to come across a group of such caring people that help each other out. I only regret that i didn't find this wonderful site sooner instead of joining another organization that was less than supportive.
In closing i just wanted to give my shout out and say that while this is my first post, i plan to contribute to my fellow AS brothers and sisters any way i can.
Jesse.

hi Jesse, welcome to the site. be sure to asks heaps of questions if they need answering. Dont be shy or afraid to take back control of your body, you are not alone with AS its great to talk to people who have empathy for AS.

Hi Jesse
Welcome. I am also fairly new to KA. I have learnt more from this site in the last few months than I have from the doctors over the last year and a half. I am now listening to my body and taking note of when I am in pain and thinking about what might be the trigger. Doughnuts and stress seem to be triggers which is not good because when stressed you should reach for doughnuts - double flare!
I hope you find this site as helpful as I have.
