Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group overwealmed by the multiplicity of AS *rant*

Are we supposed to eat choc? Jk
You are not alone in your feelings! I used to, well still do, get overwhelmed by new diagnoses. Unfortunately auto immune works that way- you have one, why not all! I try to not look at each diagnosis. I even tell my drs that I want to know NO more titles. Just fix me!!!

Thank you all so much for your support and allowing me to rant, and for giving me some calming insights and ideas too!

And, yes pain is so very individual! I have had broken bones that didn't so much as make me flinch and walked on a broken foot that was improperly diagnosed as arthritis. Yet, a sinus infection will bring me to tears and have me off to the ER quicker than you can say Bobsyouruncle.

And I guess another part of the overwealmingness (?) is that my family gets flattened when I have to tell them yet another diagnosis which of course flattens me every more, and ya really have to be quite fluffy to handle this AS!

Gotta be fluffily full of fight, not like someone left all the air out of ya.

I just thank you all so much for your comforting words and support. Maybe i will add some marshmellow fluff to the chocolate. Anyone who is feeling flattened can grab some fluff to fill themselves back up to carry on the ASkicking!

hugs and extra chocolate with fluff on top!
