    Orange County, CA doctor recommendations sought

    I am not happy with the GP/Neurologist I have been working with since August. I won't go into details, but it basically comes down to the fact I don't trust her anymore. I asked to be taken off of Savella, and she said ok let's try Fetzima instead. It is almost an identical medication AND it...

    I love/hate Savella

    I have had FM/RA symptoms for over 10 years. All I have managed to do for years is rule out my having an auto-immune disease like Lupus or MS. Which is good. But it doesn't get me any closer to help or a pain free life. After years pursuing RA treatments, we switched to FM treatment. After...

    why even bother waking up anymore?

    I just don't see the point. I'm only 18 and already I can't work, I can't leave my house, I have to cancel appointments left and right because moving is just too painful and the motion itself makes me impossibly nauseous. My girl left me because we haven't been able to see each other for a...

At first it was mainly my hip and IT band, but eventually the pain spread...
