Is Spondylitis An Autoimmune Disease Too ?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I am a newly diagnosed patient with Spondylosis. My condition is very advanced, considering I'm just 33 years old. I have a plethora of non pain related symptoms all day everyday in Conjunction with my pain and limited mobility. Is this considered an autoimmune disease too?
