Abby: My name is Abby. This is Ethan, my husband. We live in Utah. We love going to the mountains. We love hiking, going on picnics, hanging out with friends, and a lot of movie nights. Our life has just always revolved around being active. Two years ago, I had a lot of problems with my back. A lot of stiffness, fatigue, inflammation. My legs felt like they were crumbling underneath me.

Hey! Hi! How are you? How’s it going (said by Abby and Ethan’s friends)?
Abby: My rheumatologist recommended Taltz and after about a month, I started seeing results.
