I don't believe that human kind has probably changed much at all over the centuries I, personally, tend to believe with Fr. Dave, that there is more sexual diseases due to earlier sexual activity among youths and the acceptance of homosexual activities (and I'm not saying that this is abnormal activity...not getting into that controversial debate...just that it is factual statement) and this tends to bring into existence STD's that were not as prevalent 30-40 years ago. My grandchildren have told me horror stories about the sexual activity between junior high students-high school students that would curl anyone's hair. This was not what my generation had to deal with. Students are taking Viagra and other sexual enhancement drugs at very early years. STD's are very common within our youth and RS and other spondy diseases are becoming common with teens. I believe this shows a tendency towards sexual behavior starting at early ages. There has always been problems in history, but it seems that the internet (pornograph) and some of the alternative type music kids listen to are geared to sexual immorality and confusion. Some of my grandchildren were here a couple of weeks ago and they have told me about hearing of their peers being engaged in some really weird sexual things which none of our generation were involved with. The Jon Benet case and the child porn crowd is much more prevalent in today's society and it is very scary. In my generation, children did not have to worry about predictors lurking on every corner of a neighborhood or shopping center. My mother never had to worry about her kids playing, walking or riding their bikes in neighboring communities. We played outdoors all day without my mother worrying about someone picking up her children. It was never on her mind. This is not the case anymore. One has to be watchful of their children every minute of the day. They have to worry about creeps posing on teen web sites. They have to worry about teens alone in a mall. It is my opinion that our world is more dangerous than ever before and we must talk to our pre-teens about this dangerous world we live in so they won't contact horrible disease like my grandson did. He was molested by a man when he was only 9 years old which has caused a lot of grief and sorrow and a life long disease which has no cure.

However is it appropriate, or tactful, to air such opinions within a forum like RISG, where many members' diseases were initially triggered by an STD? I think we should keep our personal beliefs regarding morality issues to ourselves: This forum was set up to provide support to those with the Spondy disease and potential members may be put off joining if they feel their past behaviours are being judged. When I belonged to RISG 6 years ago, there was less religious and conservative thought content within this site. Perhaps it is time I withdrew, as I don't feel I 'fit' the forum.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 : How are you? Hope all is well. I contacted Dr. Zachrison. She is no longer seeing new patients I had a full body bone scan and MRI of Sac Joint done last week. Results were normal. I'm still in great pain. Stiffness... heel pain.. breastbone pain...lower back pain. I'm now having a hard time sleeping. It's not getting any better for me. I'm be in touch w/ other out of town doctors (Schumacher in Philly / in Tampa). I will travel to see them if they're willing to see me. I am getting mad at the NY doctors who refuse to take me seriously. I'm in great pain and no one seems to care. Any thoughts? Thanks.
