Hi! I am new to this platform, too. Was diagnosed in my 20s with Polymyosistis which has been in remission for many years, but in the past 3 years I have had terrible muscle weakness, pain, fatigue and burning/tingling in hands, feet, legs. Was diagnosed this summer with acute stage 4 Fibromyalgia and early stage neuropathy. May I ask what meds any of you are taking? My Hopkins rheumatologist wants to try Savella, but my insurance won't approve until we try a different class of meds. If anyone on here has taken Savella for their Fibro and neuropathy symptoms I would like to hear about your side effects, and any success with it. We are hoping to get approval soon.

@crewmom I take gabapentin and some days I take a prescription NSAID. I also add Tylenol in the evening. So far the 600 mg Gabapentin 3 times daily works well. Best of luck!
