Hi @lanabanana
How are you doing today?
This is a great discussion question! The time of the month is always uncomfortable and having an additional condition can make it worse. Let me tag few other members to see if they have similar experiences they would like to share.

Did you find that you had more painful periods after you were diagnosed with AS? What do you do to cope?
Take care everyone,

What a fantastic topic for a group discussion! Period pain is never fun, and when you have a chronic health condition, it may be downright excruciating.

What a great subject for a debate in the group! Period discomfort is never enjoyable, and it may be extremely painful if you have a long-term medical problem.

@subway surfers Interesting conversation question! Periods are painful, but a condition may make them worse. Tag a few people to see if they have comparable stories to share.

[This content has been moderated by an administrator for violating Carenity’s Terms of Use.] Good jobs! The topic is an excellent opportunity for group conversation. Menstrual discomfort is always unpleasant and may be acutely painful, particularly for those with chronic medical conditions.

I am in the severe range now at 74 yrs old. I have found thru trial and error and getting older with SA, I sleep on my back because I can hardly turn to my side now. I also take 10 mg Melatonin. I didn't know it came in 20 mg! (Thanks ladyslipper 67) What has really help with my back pain, when in bed, is a large memory foam wedge. The large end is under my knees and my legs go down to the small end. It doesn't move when I sleep but then again I am not turning over back and forth. This takes the pressure off my back. I hope this helps someone.

On my period my back is so painful. My AS acts up (along with my typical cramps, bloating, etc). Do my other ladies have this problem too?! What to do you to make it feel better. I feel totally K-O for a week each month and I need to find another way. Give me your tips!
