Re: SAVELLA: Drug Brings Relief Long-Term in Fibromyalgia- Might do more harm than good

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

The problem is that Savella is a brain affecting drug and most likely we have an

auto-immune disease.  It might make you feel better for a while but it might

interfere with the healing that is possible using a few selected drugs like

natural thyroid hormones, Low Dose Naltrexone, and a few others.  My body is

messed up enough without messing up my mind.  And that is just what Savella will

do.  It will possibly make you less aware of what you need to do for your body.

Be careful.  The drugs given for our disease are targeted at our brains and that

is not where the disease is!

I had a similiar experience. Savella is a tough drug to start but I have found

it helpful.

Hi anne, I am excited to think that someone out there agrees with me!!

Especially, since these are relatively newer drugs and if what is reported is

true, there is no way to know what else they are doing to our brains or bodies

for that matter! I'd like to keep my own cookies. I see so many people changed

by these drugs and they are clueless as to the fact that they are different.
