Does anyone know of any celebrities who have ankylosing spondylitis? I've recently been diagnosed with it and it's hard to find information about other people who are in the same boat. I'm wondering if there are any celebrities who have the condition, and if so, how they cope with it. I'm looking for any advice, stories, or experiences that other people may have on the topic. Any help would be appreciated.
