Dear Christy,

I am glad the Savella is working as an antidepressant for you. I hope it is

helping with the pain, too.

Good for you for listening to music and meditating when the spasms get too bad.

There has been a really good recent post-conversation about using distraction to

help manage pain. I know I do best when I can distract myself. I read when the

pain wakes me up.
