Ankylosing Spondylitis and Axial Spondyloarthritis

Written for patients by a patient who is also a leading authority on spondyloarthritis, this book is an essential reference and reading for people living with axial spondyloarthritis — with ankylosing spondylitis as its prototype — and their caregivers who want to learn about the disease and how to manage it well. * Michael Mallinson, Patient Advocate and Volunteer, Axial Spondyloarthritis International Federation (ASIF) *
