When I say no, nothing gets done. If I need help with something and ask for help it might get done a year later. No exageration. I asked my husband to clean...
I went to the Rheumy. With a list of everything this time. When I am in pain I can remeber what is happening but I never fail to feel just fine the day of...
That sounds terribly frustrating. I did get to a point once where I had to, for lack of a better term, lower my standards with regards to house cleaning. My...

Was I happy to find this group! I was diagnosed with AS over 10 years ago, shortly after I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis - apparently bad luck likes to...
Betty, I was just lamenting that I have on one to help me. My husband was sick for many years and I was the one to care for him and all else. He passed away ...
Love that...don't let yesterday take up too much of today. I have been a little lucky with my family. They live with the mess...LOL, no not really the do clean...
One way of getting people to do things is to be specific. I work with young children and they need to hear each step in the process. Just to say clean up is...

I think what may be hard for people to realize is that we have limitations. They don't see outward signs of the disease until it has progressed so far. Yes,...
I just wanted to add a male voice to this discussion. I think the problem comes down to something more than husbands that are selfish or don't listen or are...

I call it my bloody red eye time. At first, I thought I was getting into something allergenic, but my eye doctor saw it during a routine eye exam and put me...

Hi Dan. I have not read the other responses yet, so maybe someone has already told you this, but Iritis is a serious problem. If left untreated it can severely...
Anything to do with the eyes is dangerous, especially with AS. Don't take a chance. Call your eye doctor or find one that will get you in right off. We have...
