Hi knotch - welcome to you too!
It is nice when spouses join the site
there is a lot to read and learn when you are newly diagnosed with a chronic condition, even if you have been living with the pain for years.
There are a lot of us who tend not to let on when we're in pain (except maybe in here on KA!). I don't like to think that AS should be allowed to spoil someone else's day too, and you can only complain so much before you're tired of hearing yourself.
Good that you two have each other to lean on.
I hope you will both enjoy the community!
