Hi! I just started taking Savello yesterday and I'm wondering if anyone else is on it. Any crazy side effects? How long have you been on it? Is it working for you? I'm also taking tramadol and gabapentin which I'm not even sure if they're doing much anymore. Thanks!
I was officially diagnosed as have fibro by a Rhuemetologist yesterday, but I'm not new to chronic pain or fatigue. I've been in pain every day, at least to some extent, since a car accident four years ago. My pain almost completely went away (stayed at a 1-3 every day) while pregnant then...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for pain management while pregnant with FM? I am only 7 weeks pregnant, but I also have a 6 month old son. I went off meds when we tried getting pregnant with him, and I have been off everything since, which will be a couple years now...

Hello, everyone.....I know this has probably been discussed, but frankly didn't want to search through everything. I hope you don't mind my asking about Neurontin, or gabapentin again. I'm going to try it, starting off extremely slowly. I'm concerned about weight gain, as I've lost 60 lbs...
Hi. My name is Bev. I finally got diagnosed yesterday! Not that I wanted a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, but I wanted to know what was wrong with me and why I was having so much pain and sensitivity (even though in the back of my mind I knew). I even asked my Rheumatologist if there were any other...
