Yeah, Kat, I know what you mean. Does the fact that I CAN push through the pain to do things mean I'm not REALLY in pain? Every time I do something, I feel like there's a hidden camera: "See, he can mow the lawn, why can't he work; he can walk the dogs, why can't he stand on his feet more than a couple of hours; he's washing the car, alert, he's washing the car, AS is not bothering him at all." Sigh. I feel guilty if I don't do anything, but I hurt like heck when I do. I truly wish there was some x-ray or picture or test to prove how difficult it is to function with AS. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do in the end, and it's scary. Ah well, at least there's the Pirates game on Sunday. Temp will be about 70, sunny and the Pirates, hopefully, will win. Have a good weekend everyone, and thanks for all your suggestions.
