Just from doctor for my fibro. She had given samples a few months ago. I have not tried savella, but doctor is really pushing it. I am not sure so many side effects. Please give me advise. I have a feeling if i don't give it a try ,she will tell me to find another doctor.Thank you in advance. Beege

Beege, My docotr gave me 4 months worth to try it see if it will help. I saw no difference but also experienced no side effects. My pharm. said that it workd for a few of his patients but it depended on what other medication you were on. I was on pretty heavy pain mamagement and that may have been why I did not get any help from it. A friend of mine is trying it now but hasn't been on long enough to have it built us in her system. Her DR. told her to give it 2 months before determining its effectiveness. I dropped it. but she is still trying. Sorry that's all I know. Talk to your Pharm. thye are really good at drugs. Have a wonderful day.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
