WELCOME, dmx07:
Regret You have AS, but very happy You have found us; there is no better place to eliminate Your AS!
Humira is a very good drug when it is tolerated, and I hope You have great results. However, although it does not address the cause of this disease, it can give You the relief to work on this aspect.
Now I would slap You around a little over trying to check out ("You realize that suicide's a criminal offense. In less enlightened times they'd have hung you for it"--George Spiggott; aka The Devil). I was a little younger than Yourself now when I considered this and wish everyone with AS would just try starving themselves (but still drink water)--discover early how food is our worst enemy by getting into remission this way--the natural way.
The truth is, what we think about going on to a 'better place' or 'being out of pain' may not be reality and all I want to say about this is to suppose that we get AS for an important reason in this life: Why would we think we would be free of this obligation in the next life or even pain-free in some kind of oblivion? What dreams may come?!
You have a much better life ahead of You and the best opportunity now to make AS a minor inconvenience instead of a career of pain and disfigurement. Study the cause and best treatments here and get back on Your life path.
I wish You much renewed HEALTH,
John
