Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group I need you all

I need my kickas family. I seem to be loosing this battle. I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of this desease. I'm tired of no answers for these knees. I'm tired of pretending I'm fine. All my fight and strength has been sapped and no where to turn.
I need my kickas family to help lift me up again and help me to get my fight back
Cindy

Cindy,

I am so sorry you are feeling so down. This time of year, along with dealing with AS and everything is never easy. You are a fighter. One of the best ASKickers I know.
You helped me get through some very dark days in my life. Please dont lose hope.
And you shouldnt have to pretend you are fine. Scream it out that you arent and need some help. .... I know, easy for me to say.
I wish I could be there to help you out. You have always been there when I needed advice and encouragement. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Even if you need to call and just scream and rant.

Lots of love and hugs,
Pam

Cindy,
I'm here for you. I know how you feel. I'm in the same place right now. PM me if you like, it might help. Take care & hugs, Wanda

Hi Cindy,

We can feel your pain and am sorry to hear it has pushed you more than usual. Like most of us you are a fighter and though you may feel like you have been in a boxing ring in round eight of a ten round fight you still have plenty more rounds left in you. Soak in a good ol hot tub and see if you can get some rest. I think this time of year has it's own way of stressing us more than normal. Take it one day at a time and pull yourself together. You can post or pm us if you need someone to talk to.

Try the hot tub and get some good restful sleep and take things from there. Hope you get some relief soon.

Oh Cindy, I am so sorry. I want you to know that I am holding you up in prayer. I wish I could be there to sit and talk and drink tea. You have been such an inspiration to me with all you have through. I know this doesn't help the pain but just know it hasn't all been in vain. You have shown so many of us how to live.

I love you. I pray you rest well tonight. I will talk to you tomorrow.

Hugs.

Hey Girl,

I know the struggles you have been going thru, and I also know it hasn't been easy for you. Im not sure I would have had the strength you had to keep fighting for answers.

You are an inspiration to us and there are many of us that need to know that you are in our corner, and you know we are in yours.

You have alot of friends & support here at anytime.

We love you and wish the best for you.

Hugs,

Lisa

Cindy, I'm sorry you're feeling so down. It's so hard this time of year when you're not feeling well. But, you can't just give up. Too many of us here are counting on you to pull through. I look forward to reading your posts, and hearing what you have to say. Just take it one day, or even one hour at a time, and you'll make it out the other side, I know you will.

Gentle hugs for you, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi, Cindy:

Most of us can relate all too well; not many other humans know the abject despair we can sink to when we are too tired and in too much pain to get off the couch just to get into our bed, or too frustrated to bother trying to go to yet another doctor, sure that it will be the same story (lack of one...), and it feels like we are in an endless down spiral.

It is just past the tenth anniversary of my best friend's death, when I told a mutual friend that I had wished it had been me, instead and that every day I am disappointed to wake up.

Ten years can be a very long time, and I admit that I now look forward to every day I have left. It takes considerable effort, and not one of us can do it for you, but we might offer you some glimmer of hope that you can succeed.

This is and You are why we're here,
John
