Starting biologics

I’m new to this! Recently diagnosed with AS.. My delivery for my biologics is coming on Friday and I am super nervous!! Any advice or tips?

  1. - welcome to the site! Thanks for jumping in and posting about biological medication. It's completely understandable to feel nervous about starting a new treatment, especially when it involves something as significant as biologics. It's great that you're proactive about managing your AS. Taking these can seem scary or "difficult" for some due to different reasons. I have been on 5 different biologics until I found THE one that helped the most. Managing axial spondyloarthritis is quite the journey with ups and (many) downs. I wanted to leave a few links that may help guide you through this part of your journey.
