ibromyalgia
"I visited a rheumatologist the first time about 3 or 4 months ago because my osteoarthritis appeared to have worsened over many months.  I had gone to my family doctor but he couldn&#039;t understand the reason for my pain becoming so severe with my osteoarthritis.  I was frustrated as a nurse because I walk a lot at the hospital.  The pain was more than I could stand, starting at my lower back, down my right hip, and on down to my right leg above my knee.  I 
cried numerous times with this discomfort.  I could tolerate the pain with my swollen knuckles, loss of cartilage in the knees or any other pain, but NOT the back pain. I have been taking Savella &amp; the back pain is significantly reduced! I do have heavy sweats and  I remember my dreams."
