W00t

I just got an email from drug.com where I have all my medical info stored.

Here's a drug FDA is approving for fibro that's going to be released to the public in March.

It's called Savella.

Here's the info on it.

Thanks Janilee! I've been watching for that one for a while now. March, not too long to wait. The trials had some very promising results.

Favorite Poem :
It is such a relief when you first find out.
That the pain really does have a name,
And then you will ask (and everyone does),
"Just where can i place all the blame".
No matter the limits, no matter the pain,
There's no evil, cruel "Master Plan".
It just simply happens, It just simply is.
You adapt, and you change what you can.
But even with the knowing the best and the worst,
All the pitfalls the future could hold,
You still have a choice, you quit or you fight.
You determine the story that's told.
And every small step that we take, my dear friends,
Each battle that we slowly win,
Just credits the love and the caring we share
With the FMily that we call our friends.

This one is actually not a new drug at all. It's only new to the US. It's been used in other countries for years.

Do you know its success rate in other countries?

I kinda worded that wrong. It should have been newly approved by FDA for the treatment of Fribro. Sorry. Blush

Knowing our luck, we'd start taking it and it would work really well and then about five years from now, we all start growing a tail or start 'moo-ing' uncontrollably.
