Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to say hi, I haven't been here in a few weeks, life has been very busy. But wanted you all to know I haven't forgotten about you and I have been thinking of you. I think Mike (my hubby) has been here. Still no word on his social security, still waiting. He's had more bad days then good lately, but he's doing his best. I think the change in seasons and the rain we had last week has a lot to do with it. His neck has been the worst lately. Well I hope this post finds everyone doing well, I will try to be a little more faithful about getting here. Take care and have a great weekend! It's beautiful here in NH, nice fall day, the leaves are changing and the air is crisp, I'm totally loving it. Take care! Sheila

Shelia -

I have been thinking about you too. Figured you were just busy with the kids. Sorry to hear about Mike's woes. I bet NH is beautiful this time of year with the leaves changing. Enjoy the fall!

Take Care

Allison

Hey Sheila

The weatherman rated the weekend at a 9.5 and I am in Long Island missing it......oh well. Ian told me that it is supposed to be 81* here today, and I did not bring shorts......

Been thinking about you lately. Nice to see you checking in.

Take care

Hi Allison,Lori & Ben,
Nice to hear from all of you. Ben I agree, hope we hear something soon. Thanks for corresponding with Mike, I know he appreciates the moral support. I'll be talking to ya!
Lori: sorry you're missing the nice weather, but I am sure Long Island is beautiful too., by the way I commented to your morning picture, check it out LOL. Allison, How are the boys? Mine are all fine, missing Aubrey a lot this week (She's at college in SC), the boys are fine and Shanoah is showing some teenage rebellion, fun fun fun, but I wouldn't trade them for anything. Have a great day all! Hope it's a pain free one, or atleast minimized. Love, Sheila

Hi Sheila,
That was nice of you to update us on Mike and yourself. I was wondering how you were making out. SS takes their sweet time, don't they? Sorry to hear Mike's been feeling the weather on top of the AS. Seems to affect us all. At least the color is inspiring in autumn time. We've just stared in lower NY. Really need a good frost to bring the vibrant exciting colors out. Maybe soon.
Best to you both,
Klem

Sheila,

Just thinking about you guys having my own klittle battle with social security in Australia, the Dr.s are too scared to say anything about the prognosis beyond 3 months so I've been on unemployment now for 3 years.....that's had quite an impact on my (ex-now) relationships.

There's alot of things that hurt in this condition but neck pain is about the worst so far that' Ive experienced. what's Mike doing for it, sometimes little things can help a bit and that's the difference between being able to nap or sleep etc.

HI Sheila, Your weather sounds great, nothing more beautiful than seeing the
leaves turning in the fall. Something we don't have much of here in Phoenix, but we
can go North and see the beautiful trees.

The best of luck to your husband and his social security, hope it comes through real
soon.

Take care,.

Maxine

Sheila thanks so much for checking in. I'm so sorry to hear that Mike's in a bad way.

Please give him a big hug for me (and then get one back for yourself).

Hugs,

Kat
