I'm new to this forum and I'm amazed. I am discovering that some of my old behaviors before diagnosis were a direct result of having AS and I didn't even know it. I was a vegetarian for 10 years,just thought I lost the urge to eat unhealty. This helped my AS. I was a daily pot smoker, for 15 years which relaxed me, cut down on my alcohol intake and also helped my AS. I have always been an avid hiker and general outdoorsman which has definately helped keep me loose by getting me out and moving around in the direct sunlight. I've had this affliction for 15 years now and feel ok. I have bad days but who doesn't? I think my subconscious mind/body helped me make good decisions. I swear by NSD, wheat germ, running, hot showers and pot.

I was basically stoned from the age of 15 - 19 and caught many dead shows in the NYC area. One major medicinal benefit for me was no more allergy attacks. The pollen, mold and ragweed would almost kill me in the warmer weather until I started getting high. Pot was an awesome decongestant.

Hi Garcia, You know, with just a few small changes, I could have written your post. Because of fused ribs and a small income, I had to quit pot a few years ago. I can live without it but my quality of life has suffered. I long for the days when all it took to relieve my tired and stiff body was few hits. I gotta go, I'm going to start crying

I was at one time an avid user/grower, it was the only thing that allowed me to relax enough to get to sleep at night. It also gave me the pain relief needed to have sex where I actually enjoyed it without the fear of having a giant spasm. I eventually gave it up when my kids were a little older but now if I had the chance I'd do it. I hear it helps with depression too. I don't think I'd enjoy paying for it though since I always grew my own hydroponically.
Peace,
Steve

Actually, Steve, if I'm remembering correctly, pot is a depressant. If you're not depressed to start with, it's not so bad. If you are depressed ... well, let's just say I've known people to lose entire days to it. And an ex of mine who was on two different anti-depressants used to get frustrated because they weren't working so well. The fact that he was drinking 4 or 5 drinks every night and smoking at least 4 joints didn't help things. So, while it may relax your muscles and calm things down a little, beware the folly that says it 'helps' with depression, OK?  Hugs,
Kat
