If you are suffering from ankylosing spondylitis, which we'll call AS for short, you may well have various questions about the disease. It also contains practical advice on things you can do to make the condition more bearable. Your family, friends, work colleagues, and even your GP, may also be interested to read it. As sufferers ourselves, we know what you are going through. As well as the inevitable pain of the disease, AS often generates feelings of frustration and fear.
Some people do their best to ignore the condition and even deny that they have it.
Our experience, however, shows that people who take an active interest in their condition can positively influence its outcome. Moreover, there are certain exercises that will help reduce the deterioration in your posture and mobility. We have included some of these in this Website . Thousands of our members have benefited from them and we hope you will, too. There are full details about the Society and its services see contacts page .
