    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...

Last couple things I've tried have been equally ineffective and had bad side affects. I'm just so sick of convincing myself to try something that I think/hope will make me feel better...

    Just a vent about my current severe fatigue...

    I am in week 3 of severe fatigue. I had to stop working this past February. Fortunately these days my biggest concern is getting to my doctor's appointments, and I've been making myself get to them. But I hate that almost every other waking moment, I feel like a giant magnet is pulling me...
