@marye2 Ah ha, severely overdoing...it'll get you every time. At Mayo Pain Rehab Center we call that "push/crash cycle". It's never our friend. Avoid at all cost when trying to successfully manage pain. I've learned that lesson many times the hard way, too.

Keep on stretching daily, Mary. The beauty is that it doesn't cost a dime and has so much benefit. As you said, preventative. I enjoy my daily morning stretch routine. It's therapeutic and I really cant get going without it.

I’ve been dealing with fibromyalgia over twenty-five years. A few months back my brother told me about a drug Savella. It’s an antidepressant, but it was made for fibromyalgia. I tried the drug and it worked for me. I had large knots in my neck, shoulders and back and Savella relaxed them. I took took the for two months, but I had to stop taking it, because it cost too much, $430 for a thirty day supply. I’m on Medicare and have part D prescription plan and the insurance company I have doesn’t cover Savella. There is a generic, Milnacipran and it’s available everywhere, except the US. I hope your insurance covers Savella.
