I have had it for many years. I have significant fusion in my hips, lower back and neck area. I am currently on a biologic called Remicade, which I receive as a four-hour infusion every six weeks. Thankfully, my insurance covers the tab -- over $4,200 PER infusion.
The key is to stay active. I find swimming and cycling does not stress my spine. Also take care with diet -- some AS sufferers benefit from low-carb diets.
Good luck and feel free to message me if you have any questions.
