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.

Hello members... the evolution and improvement of treatments, therapies, medications, and tests are often attributed to clinical trials. Ankylosing Spondylitis clinical trials may test the benefits of new treatments, the safety of medications, as well as the efficacy of screening and/or risk factors. They give you access to promising approaches to diagnosis, prevention, and care.
Clinical trials are important and the courage of its participants should be recognized and celebrated.
