I have only recently been diagnosed with AS. For a few months before diagnosis I couldn't sleep for more than 3-4 hrs without waking up in pain.

I have since started Humira every 10days for 2 months then every 14 days continually. Now thank god I am not having pain at night or back pain in the morning.

But I as still stuck in this habit of staying up all night afraid the pain will come back.

I am taking sleeping tablets but my body is still fighting sleep even with these. My body making me wake up every hour. Any advice out there?
