my secret is to remove stress from day to day life and exercise. intead of an office job I have gone for a job with some physical exercise. I drive a car carring truck just around melbourne. it helps alot but I have to get up very early 5:00-5:30 for an 8:00 am start so I can get the stiffness lossened up. my energy levels are much higher and the feeling of cash in my pocket is great. I didn't work for 10 years and fell like most of us in to that depression abyss for years. the milder dryer climates have helped and yes I still feel stiff an sore and when a cool change is coming but I work through it. I'm over letting this disease get the better of me. but remember my A.S. wasn't extremtly bad I still have full head movement although my back is fused 4/5th of its length. and yeah I get sore hands and feet but life goes on.
cheers
