Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group THe Lovely DIane

I wish you and your wife the best. I couldn't think of a better person to help her through it. So glad she is getting the treatment she needs.

Sharon

THanks for the thoughtful words. I don't know that I've ever read an ASkicker reply to one in distress here that wasn't comforting or meaningful.

I suspect it'd be a flaw for a person in the medical field to be able to keep their emotions fully in check. I always felt some comfort when my Dad had his stroke with the Doc's who squirmed a bit when they saw how much it affected my Mom. THe Doc's weren't ever unsure of their course of action, just empathetic to my Mom's strong sient sadness at the time. I would think your patients will be blessed by the genuineness of your concern.

AS for your time machne I don't need it. I a dusting off my Superman cape and gonna do the fly around the Earth opposing is natural roatation to ring time back to Diane's healthiest days. I do fear that my bet posture during the high speed flight may create some unforseen ripples in time. Even as a superhero AS tosses in some risky variables. Dane will appreciate the effort though, and she deserves it.

THank you Pello for finding and sharing that work. My body I suspect is blunt. Typing away here to tank ll of you and because I can't think of a way to help while she sleeps.

ALways nice to see you out among posting ASkickers. SOrry I dragged you out with scary news. Am hoping for a virus, even if its heart stuff then I jus want it fixable with as little discomfort to Diane as possible. I signed up for the discomfort in this marriage. Her job is good ideas and great inspiration.



Oh yea, had kicking my butt as needed and its needed often. Bruno lnly first befriended me because he saw that need and had a talent for kickin'.

THe outpouring from ASkickers i always so great I often wonde if Bruno is not out there knocking on doors compelling folks to stay awake nd post kind words. So I check on him in the guest room seeing sleeping like a baby clutchinghis brass knuckles and smiling and I know its not Bruno's work but just good folks here.

Lucky fo ryou and Jeanna that you've got each other. I know caiuse thi has reminded me, as all struggles do, how lucky I am to have Diane.

Am working on legislation right now that makes it so. THat is only one family member sha be able to be ill and that any second member having become ill shall be deemed and made well upon proof a prior family member is ill.

Gonna take a lot of lobbying because it makes sense and lawmakers hate to do anything that makes sense. The fact that it would appear impossible never stops them. SO its got a chance.

Thank you Cara,

Good answers fom DOc's nd good prayers from concerned folk are all that's on my menu right now.

I''m with you and your assessment. This sux. Just gona have to find a way of making something good come of it. Suppose the best way is just ot get past it and get closer because of it

hi
i am so so sorry i am late in replying to ur post. i very much hope that ur lovely diane gets the treatment she needs and gets this sorted out, i know for one its not nice experiencing these problems. U r all in my thoughts and i am sending good luck and best wishes.
I myself have a heart prob, due to slow heart beart that skips at times too. It made me feel so so very tired, i was continually havin blackouts, i was exhausted all the time, mine is treated with something as simple as beta blockers. i hope that whatever dianes prob is it can b treated just as easily. unfortunately my only visual signs now of havin heart prob is the whopping great big scar on my chest where heart monitor after heart monitor has been inserted, i sincerely hope diane doesnt have to go thru that, but in my mind it was worth it to get the prob under control.
best wishes
heather

I hope that Heather is right about the possibility that it might be something that is easily treated.

Yes, I have had a minor heart problem because I ended up with a situation where I had trouble breathing, would end up almost fainting, and had fast heartbeats. It turned out to be something to do with the electrical system of my heart and was easily treatable with medication. I have not had a problem for something like nearly 20 years.

Steve, keep us informed about your wife's progress. It must be the children are keeping her exhausted
