Patient discussion about mitigation.
Q. I have had ankylosing spondilitis for over 25 years. What is available at this point to mitigate the effects?
A. The mainstay of the treatment severe ankylosing spondylitis today are "anti-TNF", drugs that affect the immune system through blocking the action of a protein called TNF.
Other optional treatments include sulfasalazine and thalidomide.
Of course, all these treatments require prescription and consultation with a doctor (in this case usually rheumatologist).
