There is a lot of material available on the web about this disease and specific forums dedicated to it, but I was wondering if anyone here has any personal experience with ankylosing spondylitis (or knows someone who has)?
My brother in law has it. He is about 58 and has been slowly getting worse over the decades but whatever exercise and treatments he uses are keeping him mobile and relatively pain free. He did have some vertebrae fused a few years back IIRC.
My soon to be ex husband has it, so I've lived with someone for over a decade with it. I can answer questions if you have any. His pain has been helped immensely with Remicade transfusions and daily exercise.
