Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Good things about having AS

Thanks for those abstracts regarding spondylarthropies in the animal kingdom. That is, like, a whole lotta big words.

Naturally it does not suprize me to find it in the big cats since I have sometimes been compared to the mountain lion for its grace, power, and charisma.

One question for the No Starch Dieticians. If starch is such a factor, why are these wild dogs, cats, dinosauruses, and other carnivores getting it? Are they sneaking in Krispy Kremes on the side?

p.s. Finally, those poor monkeys. The thought of an arthritic monkey just makes me sad.

1 I loved Mary poppins so much I thought I would imitate the penguins.

2 I am only bent over this much because my walking stick is too short.

3 Sorry just trying to kiss my a*s* good bye

4 Am I out of breath,,, no I love only taking small breaths


And Janet I think mentioned sex,, YOUR STILL HAVING SEX!!!!!!! WOW

Scary and worriesome that I laughed through all of the posts. Steve and Rick you are soooo funny!! Although if I told these jokes at a cocktail party I don't think anyone would get it. Too funny!

Mine would be meeting all of you!

Allison

First off, Rick, this is a great post!

Secondly, I have the Star Trek chair at my desk courtesy of my boss.

I liked number 7, by the way, although I would amend it that I have an excuse to be a bitch to the cow who runs our reception desk.

However, I think my favourite perq of having AS is hearing, "But you're too young to use a cane!!" It's that word 'young'. Gotta like it!

As for sex, well, AS is such a great excuse for ... erm ... experimenting.

And food? "Oh no, I can't eat that, it'll exacerbate my arthritis." Thank god.

As to comments about how I look or move. Well, I don't look any different from anyone else, but if I did, I'd tell them that I should have listened to my mom when she told me I'd get stuck that way.

And the next person who comiserates by saying that I'm moving like a ninety year old is going to hear, "I really am 90. I just aged well."

Hugs,

Kat

Oh Oh I got one, I got one !!!!

Favorite thing about having AS...Guy's I hope you get to experience this some day!

My girls (I live with three of them, my wife and two daughters) now always leave the toilet set up for me !!!!! Yup that’s right guys!! I never have to make sure the set is down .. ya ya I know its not as exciting as some of the others listed , but hay I take pleasure in life where ever I can find it !!

"Trying to fly on broken wings"

Here's one thats worth using if you are at a family function and are very bored and want people to go. It gets rid of the stragglers .
when the music is on, go in the middle of the room say to everyone you fancy a dance but your AS makes you very stiff, then dance like a complete lunatic, everyone feels really uncomfortable around you and they tends to clean up for you and leave.

works every time.

Janet

ps. only do it when you have enough painkiller or alcohol in you, not to feel it.
and check before you do this that no-one has a camera.

Martin good oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
