ibromyalgia
"I am amazed at how well Savella has been working for me so far. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia November 2008, but suffered 10 years before diagnosis...thought it was arthritis. I've been terrified to try any medications for it, because the side effects really scared me...pain kept getting worse, as my quality of life declined...doctor suggested Savella, and gave me a two-week titration pack. As far as side effects, I was pretty nauseous and sleepy, had zero appetite, and weird dreams...once or twice I felt my heart racing, but managed to bring it back to normal with some deep breathing exercises. After two weeks, I'm a little less sleepy...still not that hungry (ginger candy stops the nausea) and very little PAIN now...feeling great!"
