I was sooooo nervous before our trip. Not only a really long flight, where I could be stuck in my seat and not allowed to use the potty, but I really wanted to get quality beach time, and there aren't bathrooms on our favorites. Also, I started a new AS treatment the week before - pamidronate- and I wasn't sure if it would work, or if there would be side effects. It worked beautifully. I had 2 days of "flu like symptoms" and was tired, but my arthritis pain and stiffness is gone! And, my pouch behaved mostly for the flight and I got to go to the beach every day and have fab sex and go on a day cruise and snorkel-all without our kids! It was amazing. The flight home was tougher, as nights are the worst for me, but it wasn't too bad. We get to go again in February and we are taking the kids. I am 5 months out now and I must say that every day- every week gets better. Not that I don't have horrific days/nights, but all in all, time is fixing it all. Thank you for all of your support!
