This is a new one for me, I've had AS for 10+ years now and I can say I'm used to all sorts of pain, but recently my pain has been giving me really bad nausea and on occasions actually making me vomit. At first I assumed it might be something to do with recent surgery or possibly something like low iron so I saw my gp, had blood tests and an examination. Follow up appointment bloods are all "normal" for me and they think it's down to pain?
I've been given anti sickness tablets to try for 2 weeks, so far they seem to be helping slightly but now I find I'm falling asleep every hour of the day. seems odd to me for this to suddenly come on

You have been having a very rough time of it lately so this doesn't surprise me. I hope the anti-emetics help to make things at least a little easier for you. DD
The anti sickness tablets do seem to be helping more now that I've been taking them regular for a couple of days and I find just letting myself fall to sleep during any hours of the day also helps somewhat. Just wish they had some sort of medication that could give me some energy!
are you taking codein I wonder?
NHS Direct mention that codeine may cause nausea and vomiting:

Hope you are feeling better soon.
Regarding sleep, we are conditioned to think that the dark hours are the 'right' time to do it but I for one cannot see anything wrong in nodding off during the brighter hours. I find a short nap during the day far more rejuvenating (and I use that word in its loosest sense) than a longer snooze at night. DD
I've not had this for some time but, yes, I've had it. You've been dreadfully under the cosh for some time now so no wonder. I hope the anti-emetics helps.
