Hi all,
Well Ive had my Diabetes levels near normal for the last three days and surprise surprise my joints are starting to kick off legs ache right side hurts neck starting to stiffen up and restrict movement again.So its looking like my theory of my body fighting my Diabetes was leaving my AS alone could be correct will see how bad it gets as my sugar levels stay stable.I will keep you all updated.
Good news is my jaw is much better the acupuncture seems to have helped that.
Kevin

Good news Kevin on the jaw. Glad summat is working for you.
Oh, meant to relay on the 'AS Conference' this afternoon. *Much derogatory shrugging of shoulders, hand movements and twitching of mouth about 'alternatives' including: supplements, herbals, acupuncture, holistic, homeopathic, and etc etc. *Only 'regarded' thumbs up use was big pharma and physio therapy (wonder why physio was included...! Tongue in cheek!) Can't invent France. They sure are in the back pockets of pharma - woo-hoo!
But what is soooo ghastly, is that the 'audience' sat like sheep, soaking up the pharma endorsement. Ai-yi-yi.
(Know you are on pharma drugs, aND FOR *You they are working, but at least you will consider alternativesa and discuss and even undertake acupuncture. So, not quite the same. Yep. Was quite a scene at the 'Conference' today - and no doubt the wee effort was funded BY pharma!)

Hi Kevin,
Were your sugar levels too high or were they too low? I'm glad they went back to normal either way. That's an interesting observation about how it effects your pain levels. I'm glad your jaw is feeling better too.
Take care,
James

Hi Friend Kevin.
I am glad the Botox is helping your jaw. It really is a life saver for my Blepharospasms. Interesting thoughts about the blood sugar. I really never noticed any change when I got my to normal. I am so glad yours has been normal for a few days. It nice to have something normal isn't it? :o)
Blessings.

Man you are a complicated person I hope things get better for you.My wife remarked the other day that maybe my bad days were brought on when I expound or rant and rave about some dreg of society(polite wording) that I had to deal with. She says it is not nice and the big guy upstairs is getting my attention. Ya think if I was nice for while this would all go away? dunno might try it one day.
ETTE.

Hi Darrell,
Yes Im a bit of a stange case allways have to be different.
Anger can have an effect on your AS Ive found if things upset me and I get mad it can make me worse.Although I would think that it would be very difficult for you in your job not to rant and rave at times dealing with some of the vermin you come across .
Take care
Kevin
