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.

Has anyone here with AS has tried the use of a zero gravity and or massage chair ?
i changed my bed to a memory foam mattress and adjustable base with good results, I sleep in bed again instead of in a recliner. I use a lumbar support in my office chair and try to move around regularly. I use a wireless headset that gives my flexibility and mobility during conference calls. I purchased a car with very comfortable and multi-way adjustable seats.
Any other ideas/experiences ?
