Hi everyone, how are you doing?
Have any of you been prescribed Stelara for your AS? If so, what has your experience been? Has it helped? Have or did you have any side effects?

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,
Has anyone already taken Stelara for AS? If so, did it help? How long was it effective for you?
Thank you
