BioSpace.com: Tonix Pharmaceuticals Initiates Enrollment in the RESILIENT Study, a Potentially Pivotal Phase 3 Study of TNX-102 SL for the Management of Fibromyalgia

I have to give Tonix Pharmaceuticals and its CEO Seth Lederman credit: They will not give up on bringing TNX-102, a sublingual version of the muscle relaxer cyclobenzaprine, to market for fibromyalgia patients. Despite lots of setbacks, the company is pushing forward with yet another – and hopefully its final – clinical trial.  

Will we finally get a new fibromyalgia drug? Stay tuned … I will keep you updated!

Pain News Network: U.S. falls to 8th globally in per capita opioid sales

From the article: “The highest opioid rate was found in Canada, estimated at 988 milligram morphine equivalents (MME) per day for every 1,000 people. That was down from an average of 1,581 MME per day in Canada in 2015. By comparison, the U.S. rate was 738 MME per 1,000/day, a 45% decline since 2015. Long touted as having the highest per capita opioid consumption in the world, the U.S. now ranks 8th globally in opioid sales.”

LBHealthAndLifestyle.com: Anxiety and stress relief | 15 things to do in bed

In this post, Lucy from LBHealthAndLifestyle.com shares 15 tools that she uses to ease anxiety and stress – all of which can be done in bed.

Warrior of the Week…

The Warrior of the Week is Jonathan Davis, a former Scottish police officer who lives with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and a rare bone disorder called Klippel-Feil syndrome.

Read more about Jonathan and how chronic pain impacts his life.

New fibromyalgia / neuropathy supplement…

Last week, Nervitalize announced its release of Advanced Nerve Relief Support, “a potent mix of antioxidants, vitamins, and natural ingredients that promote nerve health. The supplement is for anyone looking for relief from the discomfort, aches, and weakness associated with aging and neuropathy.

“The new nerve healing formula contains Ashwagandha, Benfotiamine, and Alpha Lipoic Acid, which lowers inflammatory protein levels. It also contains Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) for neuropathic pain relief, fibromyalgia, and other related conditions.”

Learn more about Nervitalize Advanced Nerve Relief Support.

Note: I haven’t tried this supplement so I cannot vouch for its effectiveness, but I thought it was worth a mention since it has a good mix of ingredients, and I know several of you have written to tell me about your positive results with palmitoylethanolamide (aka PEA) products.

      I’m assuming you’re referring to cannabis when you mentioned not wanting to get high. CBD oil comes from the cannabis/hemp plant but does not have the psychoactive elements of cannabis w/ THC. I’ll link to a couple of articles:
      https://fedupwithfatigue.com/marijuana-without-getting-high/
      https://fedupwithfatigue.com/how-to-choose-hemp-cbd-oil/
      You might also want to research low dose naltrexone. A lot of people w/ fibromyalgia are having good results with it.
