some meds that end in -diol
:P
Long article, but loops lots together. Worth a skim if you have fibromyalgia, but goes further by talking about sister health issues.
Maybe it's been discussed here. If so,
point me to it.http://web.mit/london/www/guai.html
(I promise not to post 1,000 links related to fibromyalgia.)

My pdoc asked me what I knew of savella yesterday as said a new ad. I told her I didn't know. She also wanted to know what the board I read thought of it. I said hadn't seen it mentioned more than a few times. Guess had best look up for her. Phillipa

> - ScottGawd, no. After a whirlwind of cymbalta and lyrica, the other of the fibromyalgia triumvirate, I just can't feel that torn-up or destabilized. Ouch!
I also hesitate out of hand because of response to Strattera that coincided with the onset of pain episodes and Raynauds. Plus, both cymbalta and lyrica made me feel soooo dumbed down. I won't say never-ever, but for now....?
Thanks Scott
A med called effirma that is an nmda antagonist in use in Europe looks interesting. Read an article in Reuters about the growth and investment possibilities in Fibromyalgia. Heartwarming.
