Hi Confused,

According to the National Health Service of England:

There's no cure for ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but treatment is available to help relieve the symptoms.

Here's a link to the website:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ankylosing-spondylitis/treatment/ (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ankylosing-spondylitis/treatment/)

AS is a terrible condition.

Hugs, Elaine

I am not much help, but I have an aunt who was diagnosed with it. I just remember she had pain a lot. You will be in my prayers.

Find the book by Norman Cousins on this. It's called Anatomy of an Illness.

It will give you great hope!
