Hello there,
The advice I give to anyone new that comes here is learn all you can about AS... treatments such as different medications, diet and alternatives.
You should be the biggest advocate and also care provider in your treatment... doctors can help, but often no less about AS than many here and also have very tight schedules that they can devote a half hour/hour at most once in a while when they see you. You live with this condition 24/7.
Knowledge of AS and preparing for your doctors visits should help long term.
This is great site to come back to ask questions and also receive support.
Best to you,
Tim
