RheumMates is back and oh wow do we cover some ground in this podcast. Faye Stones is a Physio and has Ankylosing Spondylitis. Jack March and Faye cover topics like acceptance of the diagnosis, how her management has varied over time and what happened during her pregnancies. So much to learn in this podcast and I hope it is of use to Therapists and women with Axial Spondylitis alike!

How comfortable are you asking for help to support your mental health/wellbeing at work? And if you ask, is help forthcoming? If you are are manager, business owner or colleague being asked for help, what resources and systems are in place to provide that kind of support? In this episode I talk to Susie Martin about her own experiences of asking for help at work and moving away from a 'stiff upper lip' culture. We also discuss the use of the Mind Wellness Action Plan at work.
