Do you or anyone you suffer from any form of Arthritis? What about Ankylosing Spondylitis? I have never heard of this condition until I was on a site that was discussing Arthritis. Ankylosing Spondylitis or AS as it’s known causes the joints in your spine and the joints between your spine and hip bones to become swollen and in turn can be very painful. Other joints in your body can also become swollen, although it is not common. They say it mostly affects the joints in your lower body. I read that AS commonly starts in young adults, but it begins before the age of 35, and it is also known to affect men three times more than women.

It sounds really serious and just as bad as Arthritis. I was reading about the ankylosing spondylitis treatment one of which is a medication called Simponi. There are some side affects with this medication like with any. It seems like most medicines help cure one thing, but then screw something else in your body. Why is that? Can’t they come up with medication that have no side affects at all? Sometimes I wonder if they do this so you can be on even more medication. What do you think?
