Conversation Guide | Top 3 Questions | What To Ask Your Doctor | Post-Appointment

Nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) can be a complicated topic. This quiz can help you prepare for a useful, detailed appointment with your doctor. Even if you don’t have time to ask all your questions at your next visit, you can always follow up later.

Based on your answers in this interactive questionnaire, you’ll receive a custom set of questions to ask your doctor regarding medication, symptoms, lifestyle changes, and other aspects of life with nr-axSpA.

Use this guide to practice asking your questions out loud, to discuss your options with a loved one, or to ensure you get the answers you need from your rheumatologist at your next visit.

Make sure to answer all the questions, and then click the white arrows to see your results.

You’ll have the option to receive your custom questions via email. Click the last white arrow next to the 'print' button to get your results sent to your email.
