I used to be a swimwear designer. I feel that I have lost my identity to my conditions:

I'm a 27 year old woman. I love travelling, meeting up with friends, trying out a new recipe, working on my career and have a lot of ambitions and ideas, but a chronic disease called ankylosing spondylitis together with hip arthritis make it sometimes difficult to combine.
