    Is anyone familiar with the drug Savella and has it helped them?

    I've tried Savella. It didn't help me, but fibro is pretty fickle and meds tend to work or not work for as of yet unknown reasons. If your doctor is recommending it, it's unlikely to hurt, you can always stop taking it. I've been on so many meds I honestly can't remember if I had any side...

    I can't seem to do anything. I have no support.

    Also the main problem with applying online is that I still have to have an interview and at best most correspondence will be done by mail and by phone. The last time I applied I'm pretty sure everything fell through because my parents hid the mail and didn't tell me about phone calls. I don't...

    I can't seem to do anything. I have no support.

    Thanks for trying to help sunkacola. It seems you accidentally read where Maria is from. I'm not from Vermont. I'm from a tiny town far outside of Seattle. I'm looking into a few things I can let you guys know how it goes. EDIT: My county has a doctor transportation service but I have to...

    I can't seem to do anything. I have no support.

    I have no money for a taxi and the closest bus stop is in the next town over.

    I can't seem to do anything. I have no support.

    So where to begin? I've kind of been stuck in place for a while. Try as I might, I can't seem to get the ball rolling on anything. I don't seem to have anything more than the bare minimum of support of anyone I know, be it family or the few friends I have remaining. The few friends I still have...

    19 with fibro and cfs...

    As a side note, I've never worked with seniors, but I volunteered with kids (mostly 10-14 year olds) a lot before I got sick and continued to do so for several months after. Kids don't give you shit. If you tell them "I can't do that because I have fibromyalgia which is a painful illness"...

    a depressing doctor visit

    Thanks guys. I haven't seen a doctor in almost a year. The doctor I described was the last one I saw. I am doing a bit better than I was in my post several months ago. I've really only found relief by way of stress management. I like to call it "stress budgeting." I have a slow drip of stress...

    19 with fibro and cfs...

    Gosh I thought I was young. I've had fibro for 4 years and I'm a couple of months from 22. I couldn't imagine having to handle this as early as 14! I was a mess at 14. That must've taken a lot of strength. I can't speak too much to how to handle work because I've failed every time I've tried...

    a depressing doctor visit

    I have a suspicion that -at least for some doctors- when their normal methods of treatment don't work (i.e. medication) they set out unreasonable or unmaintainable goals so when you fail they can blame you for not trying hard enough instead of their own lack of effective treatment. The last doc...

    Crushing Heat and Head Rush?

    My pain has been pretty ordinarily terrible, but lately I've been getting this sensation where when I stand up this crushing heat sort of pulses out from everywhere and rushes to my head and I get super dizzy and have to just stand still because all my muscles seize up and my vision gets blurry...
