About Tim Tompkins, San Diego's Support Group Co-Leader

Tim is a long time resident of San Diego and has been part of the San Diego AS support group since 2003. He started a media company in 1983 which has been producing television commercials and corporate image media and training for area businesses and government agencies.

Acute symptoms of AS came on strong in 1982 during the making of a stress filled movie, from there Tim was misdiagnosed for the next 20 some years before it was clear he had AS. Tim is a believer in the therapeutic benefits of Support Groups for the AS community and his company has been involved in experimenting with online support group technology.



Want to start a new support group?

We know that an active role in managing spondylitis, backed by a sound knowledge base, will positively influence its outcome. The people who lead Spondylitis Educational Support Groups play a vital role by providing a forum for those with spondylitis to take an active role in taking charge of spondylitis.
