On February 12, 2019 SAA hosted our very first twitter chat. We had a wonderful time discussing the topics of overcoming obstacles, healthy relationships, and balancing life & responsibilities while living with #spondylitis. Did you miss our chat? Below we share the content of the chat with our community. Enjoy!
This study will evaluate the natural history of spondyloarthritis (SpA) in children and adults. Researchers will study early signs and symptoms of axial spondyloarthritis to better understand the cause and progression of this disease, and in addition, compare genetic data of patients with that of healthy family members’ to help identify the genes involved in SpA, and their functions.
We’re very excited to announce the first ever Global Spondyloarthritis Summit! Join us online on Friday, May 3rd through Sunday, May 5th 2019.

Helpful Hints is a recurring feature, aimed at sharing our community’s knowledge and experiences. In this fourth installment, we asked our online community, “What advice would you give others newly diagnosed with spondylitis?” We share a sample of responses with our thanks. We hope you find them helpful!
