ibromyalgia
"I have my doctorate in Clinical Counseling and am very aware of "placebo" effects of medication. I've had Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia for years and have tried many pain medications and antidepressants.   Three months ago my physician prescribed Savella and IT HAS GIVEN ME MY LIFE BACK. I had some side effects, not too uncomfortable, but continued Savella and am so glad I did. If you are suffering from side effects, talk to your doctor and try to stick with Savella until your body adjusts.  Brain fog is gone, even if I feel tired! Physical pain not all gone but with fish oil tablets - all pain is gone and I can walk up and down steps, etc.
Fish oil: 1200 mg a day, 6 a day and more in the winter time.  Take care."
