Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group CHAT--Does anyone here use the AS Chat Online?

I would love to chat sometimes wth other KickASers. Does the link on this website work or is it just me?

Thanks,
Holly

Holly,

I tried to use it last night, but I got a server error. How are things going with your work? I wrote a long response to your topic regarding dealing with employers since I also work in IT, but it never posted. It just vanished. Due to brain fog, I just couldn't seem to motivate myself to recompose it. Sorry!

Best regards,
Jim

Hi Holly

I believe that someone from admin will have to give you the password for the chat room. They will likely answer your post or maybe you could pm Michelle ? ( not sure if she is the right person but she can re direct you if not )

How is the Enbrel doing ?

Maggie

Jim,

I am not really sure what is going on at work. I think the fact that my rheumy sent them a letter has helped. I actually brought the Enbrel to work after my first shot lesson so I think SEEING that I had to self-inject helped them understand that I do have an illness.

And I have not been as sick since coming off the sulfasalazine. I was really anemic and sick. Also, I have not had a flare since my write up. So, at this point, who knows? I think it is two steps forward and one step back.

You know how it is in IT: Because most of our coworkers have absolutely no idea what we do or what work is involved, it is subject for scrutiny. It is not a profession that can be measured like some..."I received 15 invoices and processed them all". It is hard for some to grasp why it takes a few hours to swap computers between personnel or install a new server. "All you have to do is plug it in and I have access to the network and all my favorite web sites, right? It'll be ready when I get back from lunch?" (about an hour from now)

Anyway, I am feeling better and I appreciate your post!! What do you do in the IT world?

Look forward to talking GEEK with you! LOL
Holly

Thanks for the tips, Maggie!!

The Enbrel is going ok! I am still nervous doing it but I am sure it will pass!! I will keep you posted!

Holly

I'll PM the password right after this post to you.
