I was not going to reply to this as l agree totaly with Brad and the others the only thing I would add is that we all have a right to feel sorry for our selves now and again some of us have had AS for over 30 years as Brad said and we are crippled and in pain every day of our lives we all have positive thoughts if we didnt we wouldnt be here being positive and having laughter is important in showing your not being beaten by a crap Disease. When you find you can no longer pick up and cuddle the grandchildren you love so much you cant play with them as you would like when you find it difficult to be close with the wife or husband you love so much it hurts and some times you feel sorry for them and your self its called having a heart and caring about yourself and all your loved ones around you so sometimes I think we all have a right to feel sorry about the crap lives we have had. And as for saying you cant read the posts on here because people feel sorry for themselves and you dont like it then dont come on all the people on here are brilliant and support each other and care about each other you should have respect for these people that they want to help and support others despite going through terrible pain and suffering in there own lives. I dont know how bad you are but obviously your not severe. I would ask you to please think in future before posting about what you are saying words can be very harmfull and criticism of others who you cant possibly Know what they have been through or are going through is out of order.
