Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group 21 with AS

Welcome Valerie number THREE! I'm impressed with the "L" sound in your "nickname," I usually get "wow-a-wee" from little people and something completely unintelligable but similar from native speakers of asian languages--Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, etc. They say "our" three consonants are the three hardest in the English alphabet for them to say. This is totally out on a tangent, sorry. Watch out one and all, the Valeries are taking over!

Hi Janie,

Welcome to KickAS .

Check out the diet section, it works very well for me.

Hugs,

Small children do have trouble with the name Valerie, don't they? My younger sisters used to call me Wowee, their version of Valerie. I took some teasing from my friends over that one. My nieces and nephews just shortened it up to make it easier, and they still call me "Auntie V." Great name, I've always liked it, and not common either. And now we have three Valeries here! Watch out world!

Val.

Hi Janie,
Welcome to our little website.

I am sure you can find the answers to most of your questions and the support to help get through the tough times here. Many folks outside of our world think that AS is a man's disease, well just look around. Its pretty even around KickAS. Your never alone now that you've join the KA family. Bring your family along, the more the merrier. Look around, ask questions, get to know us, we ain't too bad... well there is that lawyer fella over in NJ we ain't too sure of... Have fun

Thanks for the coments on my nickname. My niece started calling me it when she was little (she will be 9 soon). I had to wait until she was in school to make sure I was spelling it correctly. But I do know of some adults that still can't say it .
