My own experience with Savella lasted about 10 days before the dr ordered me off it and to a cardiologist. The Savella had my resting heart rate going btw 110 & 140 at any given moment. So-it was a...
Hi Sarah, I haven't heard specifics of it for Fibro but I do have friends encouraging me to try it anyway because they've had great relief from muscle aches and pains...from working out etc. We all...

Thank you. I like your screen name- I read it and though "aren't we all" LOL If Lyrica is like neurotin, I'm hosed because I don't tolerate that either. :sad: We'll see. My hubby is shocked I'm even...
I know there are plenty of negative vibes surrounding Lyrica and even I refused to take it. But I still have the RX and I'm on the verge of filling it. I'm just really scared but I also hurt so bad...
I was dx with JHS two years ago by my physical therapist. In fact, he told me after 3 visits not to bother coming back because once you're hyermobile there's virtually nothing that can be done. Just...

Last week I began an Aquafit class at our local pool. Some days it's just stretches and some days it's stretches and resistance using water weights. It depends who is teaching the class. But, I have...
