New Non-Opioid Pain Medication: Journavx

Fibromyalgia is an amplifier: any type of pain we experience, fibromyalgia cranks it up a notch. At the same time, we know that it's crucial to treat pain early. Once we experience an injury or some trigger of acute pain, it's important to address it as soon as possible to reduce the risk of it becoming a chronic issue.

For many of us with fibromyalgia, pain medication is essential not just for those injuries leading to acute pain but also on our highest pain days or when we're having breakthrough pain during a flare. In those cases, we need to have options for pain management, and it's encouraging to see these options being expanded.

Today, Tami discusses the recent FDA approval of the non-opioid pain medication Journavx. She explores how it works, potential benefits for people with fibromyalgia, why it's crucial to treat pain early, potential side effects and medication interactions related to Journavx, Tami's optimism about ongoing research and the potential benefits for fibromyalgia patients, and more.
