Andrew George

Andrew George, Liberal Democrat MP for St. Ives, was first elected to the British House of Commons in 1997. He's also had ankylosing spondylitis -- what he calls "a milder case," which, given his ability to work as a member of Parliament for the past 12 years, is self-evident -- since he was a teenager. He's been campaigning for broader access to anti-TNF drugs and is a member of the NASS's panel of experts. He also says he's one of three British MPs with AS (he's not about to disclose the identities of the other two).
