Показать описание
Meet Mel, who lives with axial SpA. She waited 14 years to find out the reason she was in so much pain and constantly felt exhausted.

In this video she talks to comedian Sunil Patel about waiting too long for a diagnosis and how, with the right treatment and care, she can be the mum she wants to be.

1 in 200 people live with axial SpA.

We are the National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS) and we are here to transform the diagnosis and care of people living with axial SpA.
Axial SpA works silently. We don’t.

What was the name of the medication that she uses? Since there are several Biologics and treatments for it, I would like to know which one she was using so I could also look into it
