Hey, as long as you're being honest...why not be proud of having just turned 82? It sounds that despite everything, life is settled as you say. Less stress is good. As for the meds--I am overdue for a shot & occasionally go on an enbrel "strike" either due to a) its effectiveness making me think I've really kicked AS or b) continued bureaucratic difficulties in receiving the med. But your tale of the results of having skipped it for 6 weeks happens to me as well. In fact guess that's why I've been up since 3am so I have decided to end my strike and will dedicate today's shot in your honor (to your honorability). Best wishes
