HI Megan,
I don't know anything about this, have heard about it.. but can't offer any advice. I hope you don't have one more thing to worry about! I am glad to hear that the NSD is working for the AS.I have only been on it for 2 weeks, and I am still in pain.. but I am not one to have things work quickly, so I guess patience.
I just hope you are ok, and will send prayers your way as well.

Jess

All in need in my life is good health!
