Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia Pain
Hi, I am currently on savella for fibromyalgia pain and into my fifth week without any improvement. I have been dealing with this pain since I was 22. I am 45 now. Nothing else in the past has worked for me. I can find no doctor that will prescribe me a narcotic. What can I do?
