I'm a shy guy too, except for at kickas.org There's lots to read about in this forum, and many friendly people to meet, and if you have any questions just ask away. Take care, James. HLA-B27+, JRA diagnosis in 1981, re-diagnosed as AS in 1988. Also iritis, colitis, and psoriasis. NSD + low carb helps me. My health makes it hard for me to post in a timely way.

I just read your bio & web page and see we have similar interests hobby wise.I am currently off work, and no longer able to drive my truck. When I'm able to sit for a while, I love surfing for info on a wide variety of topics. Though,I must admit, now that doctors have finally given a name to what I have, I've narrowed the scope of topics I surf.

JamesB Presidential_AS_Kicker Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 2,962 Northwest Ohio	Thanks for having a look at my site. Hmm... How long did it take for your doctors to diagnose you? I'm just curious because you said you can't drive and the doctors just recently diagnosed you. BTW, It's been a while since I drove too. James.
