This guide book is free however, due to the cost of postage to North America we need to make a small charge of £3.

If you are suffering from ankylosing spondylitis, which we will call AS for short, you may well have various questions about the disease. At the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society (NASS) we have produced this booklet to answer the questions patients most frequently ask. It also contains practical advice on things you can do to make the condition more bearable. Your family, friends, work colleagues, and even your GP, may also be interested to read it. Further copies are available from NASS free of charge if you need them.

As sufferers ourselves, we know what you are going through. As well as the inevitable pain of the disease, AS often generates feelings of frustration and fear. Some people do their best to ignore the condition and even deny that they have it. Our experience, however, shows that people who take an active interest in their condition can positively influence its outcome.
