Review for Spondylitis Association of America, Encino, CA, USA
I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis during the height of the pandemic. On top of the isolation that the pandemic caused, I experienced this addition sense of isolation upon learning that I have a disease I didn't know much about. In a Google search, I found SAA, and I am so glad I did. Reading the stories of other people living with SpA helped me to feel less lonely; I felt a sense of relief knowing that I was part of a community of people with a wide range of experiences. SAA's website is an incredible source of medical information, research, and opportunities for advocacy. And I appreciate seminars and other opportunities to interact with experts in the field.
