Hi , congratulations, it's good news that you got first pain-free

night. I've experienced good improvement after 2 1/2 months of taking

Minomycin(I think same as Minocin, here in Japan) too. I have RA not AS,

though. Hope your continuing improvement.

P.S. I'm lurking UPSA and ASA and enjoying your posts there.
