Hi Swog,
Glad to see your post - sounds as if you've been hit with the AS demon ! This is a great place to be - lots of good information and support ... plus I see that you're a Monty Python fan, so I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself with all of us ... And, don't forget, there's also the Women's Forum.
While I was reading your post, I was thinking ... gee ... I was just like this back in the 1980s. The jaw stuff, the bouncing around from one joint to the next. I still have the odd bounce or a new bounce but mostly things have settled into my si and upper back / neck area.
And what I've learned over the years and certainly here at KA, is that AS is a truly bizarre disease. It affects people so differently. It wasn't that long ago that AS was considered to be a 'man's disease' - which was really tough for us women and getting diagnosed properly. Getting a diagnosis, mind you, regardless of gender, is quite an accomplishment. Finding adequate treatment is a whole different matter.
So good luck ... keep on posting ... and keep on with the Monty Python stuff ... Cat
