                        Hi:  I am 62 years old and have had AS since I was 41.  You can contact me any time at the above Email address and I will be happy to speak with you. Perhaps I can listen and give you a few pointers.  Do not despair. Have hope and be optimistic.  I look forward to speaking with you and I will try to help you.
