thank you for the replies
This Chiropractor im seeing Seems** to know AS and stated that he has had a few life long patients with AS , lol he says he knows about it.. only time will tell.
I saw him on Tuesday and he used the large vibrating thingie on my back and calfs, (2-3 min) then did a simple crack of my upper back , right before he did that he said "I''l stay away from the lower back, because we dont want to disturb your AS" anyhoo quick 1 crack motion produced like 5 or so snaps , and so far im fine. Last month I had a bad flare about 6 days after the adjustment, possibly unrelated as I was on a starch bender
no more starch benders for me lol, one thing this board gave me was the idea of just watching how much starch i take in, i will never give it up or really cut it way low ever, but you All are right about starch Loading, most north american diets are heavy heavy heavy on the starch, and with AS we all should at least Watch and think before eating 1/2 a loaf of bread, then a bag of chips, then french fries, ect.ect.ect.
I may not even be able to continue the chiropractor appointments, im so broke i couldent pay them for the appt on tuesday, and i told them i may cancell the dec 4th appt because i need every penny (not for gifts, lol no gifts from me to anyone AGAIN this year. for literally surviving lol) the chiropractor is being accomidating, he told his secritary last month after our 1st appt. to just charge me the student rate which is 1/2 price, but still when i have 411 and 350 goes to rent per month.. 20 dollars is too much
