Posted on: 11/06/2011 You are young to have ankylosing spondylitis this severe. Other drug options may not be any easier on you. Many patients find measurable relief from yoga or Pilates. Also many patients find some relief from omega e fatty acids. Rusty |

Posted on: 01/28/2009 Are there any doctors that specialize in Ankylosing Spondylitis? My brother has been told there is nothing that can be done! There has to be something or some doctor that can help him before he has no movement and can't breath any more. Please some one lead us to someone that can help us! Thanks, Ellen
