I have AS. I got 1 bout of Uveitis in 2009 and found out that I am HLA B27+ve then. I was put on steroids and then eye inflammation subsided. In 2013 December I started getting lower back pains. After ignoring the pain for 2 months I got myself checked from an orthopedic surgeon who put me on NASID’s and made me aware about my condition. He also referred me to a rheumatologist who concurred his decision and educated me on modern expensive biologics, which again was only a immuno-suppressant for temporary symptomatic cure.
After having learnt the status of modern medicine in (not) treating chronic AS, I went from the usual denial phase, to frustration, to submissive acceptance, to finally at mental peace terms with my condition. I could function with painkillers but knew that was not how life was going to continue. After having started treatment at Charaka my journey from a non believer in Ayurveda began and over a period of 3 months which I invested in my health I have accepted Ayurveda as a way of life solely due my 98% symptomatic cure. I have gained 100% faith and am on a path to total diseases cure. Off-course I am off NAISD’s and pain killers 98% pain free!
I recommend anyone to give Charaka a try and see if your body accepts Ayurvedic treatment, especially for chronic diseases which are non curable with modern medicine. Also, I feel very proud to be born in India, a country with such superior ancient heritage and medical literacy which modern medicine is yet to surpass.
I consider myself very very lucky that I cam across Charaka. Additionally, I really appreciate the doctor who is one of the most humblest and patient people I have come across. He also has a great trained team of staff members who support his vision.
Hopefully in some years I can say, I had AS.
