“Getting a diagnosis, which took over a year, was life-changing for me. And it sucks that it took over a year and for a lot of people with AS, they go through all these different doctors and different misdiagnoses,” the Imagine Dragons musician, 33, explained to Us Weekly2. “It’s very common because it’s, like, this hidden disease.
