I've been diagnosed with AS for almost a decade now, I take Enbrel, Indomethacin and an occasional Tramadol.
I've got an Iritis flare in my right eye and so I'm taking prednisone eye drops and some Dexamethasone eye salve.
I pushed myself very hard yesterday. I did three hours of yardwork and a bunch of housework, plus put together a cabinet. All things that absolutely had to get done while my wife was home.
My six month old daughter didn't sleep very well last night and kept everyone up late. I woke up this morning and am incredibly dizzy and tired.
I'm a stay-at-home dad, and I feel like I am phoning it in today. I feel guilty that I'm not doing more with my daughters. I feel guilty for wanting to complain. I feel like a lazy good-for-nothing because all I want to do is close my eyes and go back to bed. I've let my four year old watch PBS all morning. I still haven't done the dishes, or cleaned up the box that the cabinet came in, or put the stuff into the cabinet that fell off of the shelves that collapsed. I wish I could just feel like a normal person.
