Is it possible to cure ankylosing spondylitis?

Carolina

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:

AS is a terrible condition.

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!
