Can I join the women's forum also. I am a 39 year old stay at home mother of two with young kids (I think this would be easier to deal with if didn't have to pick up and grab a very energetic two and a half year old constantly when he gets in trouble!- can't squat and bend like my mother which thinks there is a genetic link) diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis is June (likely AS) , trying LSD with sulfasalazine & trying to stop NSAIDS- methotrexate would be next step but hoping I can forgo that.
