I am a 41-year-old woman from Croatia (You know, a small country on the Adriatic in which big productions houses come to shoot Game of Thrones and Star Wars scenes, the home of Nikola Tesla's roots, and so on). I was born in Zagreb where I live, but spent a lot of time in Dubrovnik while my boyfriend was studying there, and life was rosy until something stopped me - Ankylosing Spondylitis.I battled chronic pain for years, and was misdiagnosed for quite some time, so when AS was finally defined, I felt relief. I also found a way to get rid of about 85% of the chronic pain I was living with following some alternative medicine options. But, not to bore you, I wrote a book about it, it's all in there ;) As I personally dislike depressing books, I did everything to avoid writing one... regardless of a somewhat heavier topic. Most of the people who read it say it's an uplifting read. I call it a humorous guide to recovery and healing.I'm open to all new friendships that come my way... the more, the merrier ;)
