My head and soul keep forward.
because I feel that urge to share
the development and journey of this soul.
Now my life is disappearing, yet I continue attaining.
This growth and understanding of this soul, that had been faint and shallow; if I had died back then, as planned, this life would have been unsuccessful .
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees; all times I have enjoy’d
Greatly, have suffer’d greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone; on shore and when
Thro’ scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name… ]]>

I moved from Tramadol to morphine and acetaminophen, which make me pain free. I have also found how to keep from being dizzy and disoriented, just by monitoring the dose and results.
SAVELLA plus TRAMADOL
I have been on Savella for over three months now, long enough to write this informed-user opinion. I switched to Savella from Cymbalta when a fibromyalgia flare had been going along, wide-open, for over six weeks. Cymbalta had worked well for about a year, just as Lyrica had been effective for about the period It is no secret that anti-depressants often work well, then, without warning, can drop the user into a deep,dangerous well. It seems that they can stop helping f/m sufferers in the same way.
For disclosure sake I also take Buspar and Remeron which were added to augment Cymbalta, mostly for anxiety and depression.
Back to the f/m tale; the flare was going on so long and at such a high level, often being between 5 and 7 for much of the day, that the doctor at the pain clinic suggested Savella; recently approved…

I know that it is almost impolite to quarrel about the beyond with someone who can see the end post, but it is during these last pages of being that we call upon what we know and believe as true. To make up a belief that there will be travel after death means that you will miss the full experience of the end, miss one of the most important events there is.
p. s.:I am new at this, if I crossed some lines of protocol please let me know.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
There are times when old people are unhappy, but maybe we don’t have to be.
Wouldn’t it be good to ease a worry by talking with some friendly folk?
Some of the things that makes us unhappy are:
We feel the need of forgiveness, both to give and to receive.
Health and energy are disappearing.
We don’t think quite as clearly as we once did.
Family and friendships are going away.
The things that gave us dignity are scarce.
We may want to talk about death and beyond, but are unsure about what that means.
We meet as equals.
Anyone can moderate a meeting.
Anonymity, first names only.
This is not a social club, nor a bible class.
We just have open faces and hearts.
To go from this place one step closer to where we know we ought to be.
To accept happiness in spite of …..

ELDERS’ BROCHURE 2
Many elders become unhappy as they grow older, we don’t think that is right.
We think that we ought to have a place where we can go to say out loud to others the things that bother us.
It would be anonymous place, with first names only.
This wouldn’t be a social club; there are plenty of those around for people who want them.
If we could do this with or in churches that would be great, this is what churches are for.
Here are some of the reasons why some seniors are unhappy:
1 Dignity goes away
2 Family roles become reversed or disappear
3 Friendships disappear
4 No one wants us for work anymore
5 Health and vibrancy diminishing
6 Death is coming, and we don’t know how to die
7 We need to forgive and be forgiven.
I heard back from a friend who is under pain management, but not fibromyalgia; she had asked her pain nurse how many FMS patients used morphine—none.
I have posted several notes on bulletin boards, that deal with pain, no response.
My expectations were that some might be happy to know of an instant relief; others might reply in anger, that an opioid was being discussed among the public; why is there no interest?
It is quite likely that I was not as assertive in publishing what happened to me.
There is that group that is comfortable in their pain. They receive attention and kindly offers; they are defined by that discomfort, and are not expected to do many of the social actions that are common to us all.
Morphine stops fibromyalgia pain; both extended release and immediate release tablet can be used to give relief. Why would anyone turn their back on this?
