I am 77 and am still going strong. Be ready for a lot of ups and downs. It is different for everyone so be ready for about anything. I have had symptoms from my feet to my head. I have found that most doctors don't much about AS so check on all of their diagnosis. Here are some of my most common problems. 1 uveitis, find a good eye doc. Chest pains, I have been to the ER several times just to find out it good old arther. Muscle spasms all over, I am always thinking I did something I shouldn't but it ends up being As. The big thing is don't let it win. A lot of people have AS and have very few problems. If you have any questions ask away.
