Ankylosing Spondylitis prognosis
What is the prognosis if you have Ankylosing Spondylitis? Quality of life, limitations and expectatios of someone with Ankylosing Spondylitis.
As at the moment there is not cure, it is a progressive condition. Although nowadays they are treatments to slow it down and also with the knowledge that exercices are beneficial, I hope for synergistics effects and get a better quality of life as no generation had the chance previously.
Therefore, I am hopeful that managing it the best I can and using the knowledges of the studies around it can help me to live with AS on a suitable way.
And I hope and wish for a cure :)

Depending on how your AS progresses and what part of the world you live in, you should have a normal life expectancy. That can be shortened by lack of adequate treatments or AS affecting the internal organs, such as the heart or lungs.
Life will be more challenging, but with adequate care and support, you can still live a good life. You have to find your new normal.
AS is chronic and progressive but with an adequate care plan you can stall the progression or put it into remission for a period of time.

Sadly and even though I’m on a treatment to help ‘slow down’ the progression of the AS, it will continue. However, the treatments restored my life in general...I returned to work and enjoy most of the things I used to; some of the things I can’t do I learned to accept
