This thread will cover day 1 of the Summit. I'll attend as many of the 4 sessions I can & tweet about them. Um... & there's also a magic show. You can check out the schedule using the link I shared in the 1st tweet.

P.S. May is Spondyloarthritis Awareness Month!

- 3.2 million live with SpA in the US (we're not rare!)
- The disease is systemic, can affect all parts of the body
- Diagnosis is often delayed 7-10 years due to lack of accurate testing & knowledge
