Hello everyone,
How are you today? I thought I would revive this discussion, since fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of AS!
So, how do you cope with the fatigue? Do you have any tips or advice? Have you modified your daily routine or schedule around your fatigue?

Feel free to share any advice here!
Take care,
Courtney

@ that’s interesting! I may look into that. I take special vitamins only available online that really help me. They have made it so I can work and care for my family again!! I’ve tried to substitute with other supplements with similar ingredients without any success. I went back to these exclusive vitamins that work and been doing better again! It’s the most amazing thing I’ve come across. That device sounds like it would do wonders for me.

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.

Hi everyone, I’m new here to this website and I am hoping to find some insight and understanding about AS. I was diagnosed a year ago and have been trying to understand and determine if all of the exhaustion and pain I feel is from it. I have lofty ambitions of things I want to do ( like I did when I was in my 40’s) but find that when I do try do to things I pay dearly for it. I’m finding that even doing normal everyday tasks can overwhelm me before I know it and I can’t continue because I’m wiped out and in a lot of pain. Is this a normal part of the disease? Any insights would welcomed and appreciated. Thanks
