aerial... i wonder if there are others who found AS & kickAS on the same day. what a horrible thing to find out on the internet!

after my mom died (she knew the details) my AS flared terribly. i called the Arthritis Foundation and they sent me pamphlets about AS. when they came i couldn't believe it. i called my dad to see if he knew anything about this, he didn't & the one person i could talk to about it was gone. it wasn't long after that i was on the internet (googling Ankylosing Spondylitis) and thankfully found Brian's site. i'm quite sure the people here litterally saved my life.

what was your question again?? 27 years ago, @ age 13, age now 40. i let that one get away from me

oh... and i can appreciate the heck out of a sunset!

gentle hugs,
teddi

keep smiling... it matters! FYI-Because of its literal definition ("fear of the marketplace"), agoraphobia is often misunderstood as a fear of crowds or a fear of open spaces. The clinical definition of agoraphobia is a fear of situations or places "from which escape might be difficult (or embarrassing) or in which help may not be available in the event" of a panic attack.
