Hello @spond568, thank you for opening this discussion.
Have any of you been advised or prescribed any vitamins or supplements for your AS? What do or have you taken? Has it helped?

I found a particular supplement that is called Thrive. It’s the only thing that has actually helped me with my issues.. I tried to replicate the ingredients with other cheaper brands with no success. I continue to use Thrive to this day, and I’ll continue for as long as I can. I would recommend it to anyone!

Apparently, one vitamin that supposed to help, is vitamin D. There are many companies selling vitamin D supplements, but there is some controversy regarding being able to produce an effective supplement for vitamin D. The natural way the body receives vitamin D is sunlight on the surface of the skin. If you are lucky enough to live in an area with plenty of sunshine, make sure you use this ability and don't lock yourself indoors. Get out into the sunshine as much as you can.
Good luck.

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.
