Dear Ted and Dr. Tambar,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across your post titled "Have You Talked to Your Doctor About What To Expect From Biologics?" on nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA).

I’m not really looking for people explaining what a biotherapy is , but more for people telling me what life is like when on this treatment .
Here are some questions I’m wondering about :
What kind of changes should I expect from it ?
Will I still be able to go to… read more
Theses are all great questions! I would. Like to hang out and see the reply’s to this myself for similar concerns.
