Fibromyalgia: The diagnosis of fibromyalgia is difficult. There are a number of diseases that produce the same symptoms. In my experience, about 50% of patients I have seen for 'fribromyalgia' turn out to have an undiagnosed sleep disorder, causing fragmentation of normal sleep architecture and non-restorative sleep. My suggestion is to consult a sleep specialist to evaluate that aspect of health carefully.

Yes: Savella (milnacipran) is a new drug indicated for fibromyalgia that has a different mechanism of action than fibromyalgia. Would discuss this with your pcp or pain specialist to see if you are a candidate.

Yes: Consider savella (milnacipran) - new drug indicated for fibromyalgia with a different mechanism of action than lyrica. Discuss with prescribing physician to see if you are a candidate.
