Members shared mixed experiences with Etodolac for fibromyalgia pain, with some finding it effective while others reported serious warnings from doctors about potential kidney and stomach damage, as well as interactions with antidepressants causing fatigue. The conversation shifted focus to Joncia (also called Savella), with one member enthusiastically sharing that 50mg twice daily eliminated all fibromyalgia symptoms within a week, transforming their mobility from barely walking 15 meters to walking all day without pain. A recurring theme was the medication's prohibitive cost in the US, ranging from $300 to $3,000 monthly depending on insurance, with members expressing frustration about access barriers despite its life-changing potential.

Hi I have not heard of this drug before but it is only an ant inflammatory drug. I am on Joncia which has taken away all of my Fibromyalgia symptoms

Hi KellyLee and Khalds. I am on Joncia 50mgms morning and night. It took about a week to kick in and I have no muscle pain or cramping at all. I can now walk las Day instead of not being able to walk past 15 meters without pain. I have the sweats on exertion as one of the side effects. Apparently a great side effect is weight loss but didn’t get that one. Ian so excited to have no Fibromyalgic pain whatsoever.
