I like it. Look forward to my Friday night martini all week long. Fixes me right up. Love to socialize over good beer, too. I haven't noticed any correlation between booze and my AS pain, but am curious. Any observations? Is beer "starchy?" Thanks.
And cheers.....
long days, pleasant nights.

I allow myself a few beers a couple nights a week, choosing the out of control pain days, and helps me relax a bit and keeps me from reaching for those extra pain pills. I can get a little more cheery for a few hours.

It sure is, Spin. Because I've gone gluten free, I can't drink beer (although sometimes I do, I usually go with cider). Grain alcohol, such as whiskies, vodka and such, are also starchy. As a low starcher, you're safer with wine and cider than anything else.
Cheers,

Hi all
Sunny- you suggested I might be iron deficient
re those unexplained bruises on my lower back
Soooooo last night at the footy club I had 2 pints of STOUT (aka Guinness)
Which I can now classify as PURELY MEDICINAL
as It contains lots of IRON .
Though, as Im a girly girl I couldnt drink it straight and had some evil lemonade in it( We call it a portagaff in Aussie talk)
My Granny - who lived to be 101,had a glass every day
I feel fine this AM and felt even better last night!
CHEERS TO YOU ALL!

As a low starcher, you're safer with wine and cider than anything else. I like to hear this! I work for a winery. Yet another benefit.
