I see my primary care, pain management and rheumatologist. I am looking into seeing a therapist as well.

I see my Rheumatologist and my Pain Management Doctors

I find physical therapy and acupuncture really help me and reduce my reliance on NSAIDs for pain. Recently, I began to try mediation.

I also have a rheumatologist (and second opinion rheumatologist), cardiologist, gastroenterologist, and neurologist.

I know that this sounds like a ridiculous number of providers. But I encourage you to build your team and get admitted into their practices. This way you can call on them to see you when you need them.

You will find your way! It takes time, but we all get there. Kind regards, Sharon

For peace of mind for myself look for as much information as possible,even You tube in u.k.it’s a very hard condition to under stand always seek professionals advice ,consultants steer clear of people telling you Negative comments of doom and gloom if you have this chronic condition,surrond your self with Happy people with positive out looks don’t over think problems get help it’s out there .👍Rob

I have a PCP but she really doesnt do much for the AS. I have/had PT, Rheumie, neuro, pain management specialist, and mental health counselors/psychiatrist. I also have an endocrinologist because I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis also.
