I've read in the spine support group online but answers seem to be from a few years ago. They're kind of depressing too. I haven't found an in person group. People I know who have it can sit but walking is hard. They don't understand my not being able to sit or lie down. I've been trying to sleep for over an hour and can't so I'm standing up again. Used biofreeze. That helps a little.

Rainbow, I have several chronic illnesses which, when they flare, cause extreme pain and other symptoms. I'd be happy to talk to you, give you support, if you like. Gentle hugs.
