Kevin, I thought I said that. I know you are not putting anyone down. I can't speak for anyone else but You have always been a wonderful support to me and for that I thank you dearly.
I was just saying that it makes me feel less of a person when I can't get up and do things when others are. I think for many of us it is not just what is posted here that effects our thinking on particular posts/threads/topics.
For me I have had a relative research AS and then turn arround and say well so and so has AS, from memory Australian cricketer Michael Clark has AS and he can still play cricket, why can't you clean the house. I hope this makes sence.
As far as caracterizing anyone. I haven't seen you do this to anyone. Your post the other day, the one I mentioned in my responce to Michelle, got me thinking. I was in no way meaning this to be an attack on you and if you feel it was. I am truely sorry for that.
In essence I do infact agree with what you have posted here.
It is hard though to not be obsessed with searching to find out what is wrong with you when it seams that the pain is completely taking over your life. Even harder when the doctors can't agree on what symptoms rule in or rule out any particular dx.
