I am wondering who has a cleaning service come to help you with chores around the house? I am looking to get once-a-month cleaning, to help scrub bathroom, floors, etc. I can not do it - If you do, can you write it off on taxes?

For the past month or so when I first get out of bed and after sitting for awhile, i have this awful pain in my right foot & a bit in left). But it is across the top at the widest part. When I have to walk down the stairs in the morning, I cannot place my feet flat on the step - I have to walk down as if I am on tip toe or it kills! After a few minutes of moving around I am good - til the next time. What is that! Never had it before. Related to sciatica maybe?

My father wants me to go see an 'energy healer' to fix up my Spondylitis issues. He seems to think positive energy - at $180 per session - will cure Spondylitis so that I won't have to keep taking the Enbrel injections and all of the other meds. It feels so dismissive to hear him say a remote healer could (theoretically) do what years of research and medications cannot. Anyone have experience/advice wrt to healers?

I was recommended a book called "Enemy within" by Karen Ager, at the beginning of last year. I feel it is my duty to share it with you all. The writer is a sufferer of RA. But I got a lot out of the book, and I highly recommend it. I am passing it round my family and friends now, to give them insight into how I have felt through it all?

My rheumatologist told me 2years ago that he's not sure how AS affects women and as I'm managing the pain there is nothing more he can do. Should I go back and ask for a check up? Should I ask to see a physio? I've had no advice or help from anyone!
