• Arrayfunction : Ignore all the fluff about COVID there. Here is the meat of it:
  "Tonmya is a potential new first-line non-opioid analgesic under development for the management of fibromyalgia with Fast Track designation:"
  (If I knew how to highlight or bold in comments or find the comments on the desktop version, I would emphasize first-line non-opioid analgesic)
  That means $$$ for the drug because an FDA indication like that would be a mushroom cloud explosion in market share. With the US regulations on opioids these days, most fibromyalgia patients can't actually get pain treatment from their primary care doctors because it's too risky for them (practically speaking,  they can only prescribe the anti-seizure meds or anti-depressants. These can be effective, but not at reliable rates and have pretty bad side effects).
  Up until recently, a patient would have to wait months to get into a rheumatologist if they wanted pain relief. Even that's become a new barrier. Rheumatologists have gotten so annoyed by other doctors punting chronic pain patients their way by slapping the "fibromyalgia" label on them (which no test can prove/disprove) that they have started rejecting referrals with only "fibromyalgia" as an indicator. That assumes a patient can afford a rheumatologist and doesn't get fed up waiting and abandons care.
  GPs give out the pill form of cyclobenzaprine all the time without worry. Chronic pain is one of the largest untapped markets in medicine with the aging populations and pull back on opioid use. I wouldn't be surprised to see this jump into the top 15 most prescribed medications within a year or two if it all plays out.
  TL;DR Black Friday deals if you want to go long

• Trytosaveabit OP : Yeah Covid I don’t believe 90% of what our government says! And on the pain / opioid front! I Would be willing to bet that I have far more firsthand knowledge/experience of the troubles that have come since the same Covid lying government got involved and decided to use prescription opioids as a scapegoat to cover their severely incompetent and lack of desire to go after fentanyl because that’s hard! So go after 99% of law abiding Dr’s and patients. Well because they are law abiding and they won’t fight back much! Same line as going after legal gun owners! But criminals who are not allowed to have guns get caught doing a crime with a gun they are not allowed to have and they lower the charges! Same with opiates! Legally prescribed is a awful ordeal! But they will give clean needles and safe places to shoot and ignore the open air drug markets! Grrrrrrr! Im done before I throw this screen across the room!

• Lnova : That is good news because Fibromyalgia isn’t easy to treat I think. I have Trigeminal Neuralgia and there isn’t a cure for it, there are only some treatments like surgery, anti-convulsants to treat the nerve problem, and pain killers. Ibuprofen doesn’t work on it, the condition isn’t receptive to whatever ibruprofen does to ease pain
