Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group It's Official....my oldest daughter is engaged!

Brent...you know me all too well! LOL I've been pre-shopping on the internet with Erica so we can minimize our road running, I explained to her that I just can't shop for hours on end so we would have to get spend our time going through catalogs and looking on the internet and that way we'd have an idea of what we're looking. So don't worry, I'm gonna take it slow & steady.

Michelle,

I'm proud to see you are starting to adjust a bit better and not pushing yourself as hard as you were before. I know the temptation to run out on an all day(s) shopping spree is there but you want to get through the glorious event with the least amount of pain possible. There will be plenty more for you to do on the day of the wedding in helping your daughter prepare, then the reception to follow.

Congratulations! There is a certain that a mother has when she knows her children are married to the "right one."

Thanks and I know exactly what you mean...Erica dated her first boyfriend all the way through high school and into their second year in college (5 yrs. total) and although he was like part of the family and I adored him and he was very good to Erica and everyone was just so sure they would marry, something just didn't seem right to me, well long-story-short, he proposed about a year and a half ago and she said no and of course the relationship ended right there. She met Adam about 7 months later...and the rest is history...but I knew right away that he was the one for her. I'm so happy but it's hard to let one of your girls go...

Oh Brent, I had to slow down....after you convinced me to, I went back to my doctor and told him the Ultram and Meloxicam just weren't doing anything for me....I realized that I hadn't really slept in about 2 years and my quality of life was awful...you just can't go that long without decent sleep and I couldn't function at all anymore... So, I took your advice and went back and he prescribed me Lortab, Carpisodral and Zanax...I have gotten at least 8 hours of sleep a night four nights in a row...I still feel like I need sleep but I feel so so sooooo much better already. I told him that I need that medicine until we can come up with something else that works.....like maybe back on Enbrel....otherwise he might as well roll me over because I was done! I had to go back to the doc yesterday, I have another kidney infection and a sinus infection, so I'm on antibiotics for that but I am going to take your advice and not over do it again because it would just kill me if I got sick or was too run down for the wedding.

Michelle,

You got the sleep part right, with no sleep your body can not recoop causing you to keep going down hill. I'm glad the doctor listened to you after I gave you those few hints on what to tell him and finally gave you some meds able t odo you some good then to have to suffer visit after visit with no relief.

Hope you can plan out your days as the wedding day gets closer letting you have the most enjoyment you can for the day of the happy occasion. You may even work a little time in for you to lay down a bit in between a phase or two in the prep. You will need plenty of strenght and energy so you can dance the evening away.
