Just for the record, I'm off the NSD. Been of it for a few months.
Story of my life really. It's not like I go round telling people about AS etc, I'm the complete opposite. I dont want anyone to know. Im talking about my family.
Its bloody hard when you're in constant pain and at some times excruciating, unbelievable pain (like what happened in my Biology exam, one of the worst experiences of my life) and people (not trying to frame anyone here) dont believe you. I'm at the point where I dont talk about it with anyone except my dad. It is near impossible to talk to some of my family members about the NSD because they just claim its complete [*bleep*]. It also doesnt help when people in my family talk to others that also agree that a diet is complete nonsense for treating this condition.
What also gets under my skin is when someone (no names) in my family is always talking to their friends and 'professionals' about MY LIFE and the no starch diet that I used to follow. I ask them to stop but they continue to do it. Why cant people respect privacy?
What these people in my family dont realise is that the main reason why I dont get along with them and I suppose rebel a bit is because THEY DONT BELIEVE ME AND HAVE NEVER BELIEVED ME. It's difficult to explain all of the circumstances here but its been pretty tough.
I feel my posture getting worse, I even feel myself starting to walk differently. I dont want to freaking fuse up, I've got my whole life ahead of me. On the other hand, I dont want to lose alot of weight and be insecure about myself again. Its real tough.
Just sort of felt like saying this to somebody and see what you guys think from personal experience especially dealing with AS,
Hope your all doing well.
