How Does Your Experience Compare to That of Others Living with AS In America?
In 2020, 787 people living with ankylosing spondylitis took our online Spondyloarthritis In America Survey. We also got information from people living with:
- Undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (285 participants)
- Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (105 participants)
Each year, we learn so much about what the community's journey living with axial spondyloarthritis is like in an anonymous survey. Some of the findings confirm what we already know about living with a difficult rheumatic condition, while others are surprising! We want to share some of these results with you – see how your experience compares below!
