Forgot to come back & update. I went to the Dr. & told him the Savella didn't work out for me, he had given me so many months ago. I told him, I hadn't been back to see him, because I wasn't sure what else he could really do for me?But, it's bad enough that I'm desperate for help, so I went back. I asked for a pain med. He said that it was fine for me to try & hoped it worked. If it didn't, he was going to have to refer me to someone that worked with fibromyalgia. He asked me if the Savella helped. I told him it did, but the side effects were not managable. He said if the Savella worked for my pain, then that tells him, I am dealing with fibromyalgia. He gave me a script for a pain med. I have been taking it every 6 hours like the directions say. It really seems to help my hip pain. Makes me feel more alive. Not sure if I'm just feeling better so I have more energy or what?I have been taking 2 at night because I notice I wake up several times at night & still hurt. So, since I had been doing that. I wake up in the morning and my hips don't hurt which is NICE!!!
Anyway, just wanted to update & say thanks to everyone who is here & listening :0)
