RE: my doctor is trying this new med..has anyone heard of it??

[Guest guest]

I'd never heard of it before, and so I googled it, and could find only one

article on it at all. It sounds very interesting. I will be very interested in

seeing how it works for you. The article I found makes sense. It isn't a drug,

but classified as a 'medical food'. Only, it has to be prescribed. I've never

really heard of anything like that before. Please let us know how it works. Does

your insurance cover it?

Peace and Love

read on the other site:

Thanks Caroline...luckily I get all my meds covered for my Fibro through workers

comp. So the doctor gives me whatever he feels he wants to prescribe. I fear for

the day I will have to pay for my meds! While reading the insert on this

medication, it specifically says it manages pain for fibromyalgia. I am going to

try it out along with everything else. We are just guina pigs at times...lol.

Thanks again.

No, sorry Patti. I don't know anything about it. Just wanted to

acknowledge your post.
