    Last week my neighbor picked up my son for after-school activitey. She knows I am not working due to my arthritis being disabling to me. I told her it was a very bad day for me painwise and how much I appreciated it! Today I called and offered to pick up her kids and she says "So, your feeling ALL better!?" I replied, "I will never feel ALL better, but today is a good day and I can drive the kids today. What would you say or do in future situations like this?

    I find that when I say I have AS and it's a form of arthritis people say 'yeah I know what arthritis is'. But they don't know. How do you explain to people it isn't something you can see, that what they think should help arthritis isn't actually going to help or fix it?
