Hey Christine;
I've found the best help for me, in "dealing" with my AS, is to do research and post here. When I feel sad, I post here, and when I feel mad, I do research. And I also post. And I post and do research when I'm happy and optimistic, too . . . lol I just do lots of research, and post whenever I can, or when I feel the need to cry or yell or beat something. I'm 13 years into this ugly mess (came down with it at age 10, was diagnosed after 11 years and 30 doctors) so I probably have a better outlook than most, having grown up with it. But it can still really get me down (see today's post for example lol).
Something you might want to look up is Low Dose Naltrexone, which is what I'm taking right now. I LOVE it, it's helped me SO much.
www.lowdosenaltrexone.org is the best website I've found.
I'm super glad you've found us, this place is honestly the best place in the world! Or, well . . . close, anyway. If only I could take KickAS with me into a hot tub on a summer night, . . . *daydream* lol
*hugs*
Bridget
