Any 'Ankylosing Spondylitis'-ers (AS)?

If so, do you have suggestions, tips, insights, you'd like to share with anyone newly diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)?

[I'm requesting on behalf of another/ different forum member at early stages of research.]

Any guidance/ road maps from those who've travelled the Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) road, would be deeply appreciated. 🙏

Thank you in advance for anyone wishing to contribute. 💐

(Hope this proves useful for other AS-ers, as well. 👍 )

Here's some 'generic' Ankylosing Spondylitis resources info (I'd run into in past):

.

Generic Rheumatologists Appointment info:

The "RAise It" document from the NRAS* website ( nras.org.uk/publications/ra... ) is "a guide to talking to your doctor or nurse about rheumatoid":

• Online (PDF file): nras.org.uk/data/files/Publ...

.

[*NRAS (National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society) is a UK-based charity. Much of the information is informative/ useful state-side too. Kindly bear in mind, there are country-specific differences. 👍 ]

______

Supplementally, for anyone interested in what additional queries to consider asking your rheumatologist upon initial meeting, consider the following:

NRAS forum participants have noted their additional questions for their rheumatologist in forum posts. If you've time/ inclination to skim through the list of search results ("questions first rheum appointment"):

healthunlocked.com/search/q... , you may glean additional ideas for queries that relate to your specific concerns. 👍

For ASers also interested in (reputable) dietary/ lifestyle information (in addition to meds), here's references/ links I've gleaned from some of my 'go to sites' by plugging in 'Ankylosing Spondylitis' as a 'search term':

T. Colin Campbell • nutritionstudies.org/autoim...

Dr. John McDougall • drmcdougall.com/health/educ...

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • drmcdougall.com/health/educ...

Dr. Michael Klaper • doctorklaper.com/answers/an...

Clint Paddison • paddisonprogram.com/?s=Anky...

. . . . . . . . . . . . . • paddisonprogram.com/clint-e...

Dr. Michael Greger • nutritionfacts.org/topics/a...

Dr. Joel Fuhrman • drfuhrman.com/lifestyle/suc...

.

Again, it's a lot of info to wade through 😳 , yet there may be some practical dietary/ lifestyle ideas that may serve as a roadmap to navigating (& improving) life with AS. 👍 [Merely supplemental food for thought. 💡 🤔 ]
