I have been suffering with fibro for several decades now but just recently began "official: treatment and a drug regimen.  I was having terrible side effects so hitting bottom have started different dietary and supplement strategies and am documenting them on a blog.  If you have experience or found remedies I'd love you to share.  http://****.wordpress.com

I was given a sample of Savella. It made my heart pump out of my chest. I felt like a big knot in my stomach between my breasts and in my throat. I took my blood pressure anf it was sky high, 167/96, and my pulse was 127. I stopped immediately and called the doctor. It did help a little for the pain, but not worth the risk to me.

i have been on Savella since January, it was helping me at least be able to somewhat tolorate it more. (only 100 mg a day) for the last month, i have been getting way worse, cant sleep at night and much more pain.  however, went to the doctor today and they are putting me up to 200mg a day.  not sure if savella has just adapted way too much and now it doesnt work on my pain or if my pain is just getting worse.  the pain is what depresses me!!! if you want to contact me, my email is ***@**** i am going out of my mind with all my body issues.  wanna chat, my name is Tracy.

July 2011 I woke up one morning and couldn't walk. Both feet have swelled 3x their size and were red and could not be touched not even by a sheet.  I have been in the restaurant biz for 10 years and now my life has turned upside down.  I am now 26 and in 1 year have been diagnosed with sarcoidosis in my lymph nodes which has caused the side affect of RA and I thought for awhile all I needed to do was take prednisone to reduce the swelling and inflamation and have been on hydroxychlor for the RA....I wish that was all.  I thought I had found a desk job working for hertz but I am washing and cleaning 8 to 10 cars daily and that's been since march.  Starting in may I thought I just have to deal with the arthritis in my ankles and wrists but then I started having pain in my back, neck, shoulder blades, lower back, calves, quads, jaw and cheeks.  I kept a 2 week diary of my where my pain was, what I ate that day, my activity level and pain level and gave it 2 my RA doc and he is now putting me on savella.  I already have missed work from being in pain am I goin to miss work starting this med due 2 nausea?  I'm wandering if I should go on short term disability from my job so I can deal with these symptoms and get some rest bc I could litterally sleep all night and day if I could.  I'm only 26 I want to feel 26 and I want everyone who I talk to about it not look at me and say "you look fine" because I do not feel inside how I look outside.  I just wanna know if its ok that I take time with short term disability just to get back on track.  It makes me feel bad but I feel bad and my days are the never the same.  I wish more than anything I could wake up one day feeling rested, happy and in no pain with no stiffness, I want that more than the lottery!

I'm a 62 yrs. old female that has had fibromyalgia for about 26 yrs. I started with stiffness in my neck and arms. Now as I get older it has gotten worse and worse. I have come to the point that I can't work and I'm in the process of trying to get my disability for the past 15 months. Since fibromyalgia is so hard to diagnose, I just found out from my disability hearing that you have to go to a fibromyalgia specialist to count how many points of pain areas that you have. If you are trying to get your disability make sure you go to a specialist before your hearing so the fibromyalgia is used. The judge immediately said that the fibromyalgia would not be used because I only had documentation from my PCP that I had it.

I was given Savella to try, however I am a person that researches all new medications that I am prescribed because I have so many allergic reactions to meds. When I read the insert that was in the sample, I saw that it raises blood pressure. I have HBP so I immediately knew that I couldn't take the med. I am so glad I found this website and read the side effects some people have endured. I'm not even going to try it because I had some bad side effects from Cymbalta. I used it for about 3 months and then I started having worst pains and chest pain.

The problem with trying all these different drugs is you pay for them and then you find out that you can't use them. That's money down the drain and you have to go back and buy something else. Maybe that med will work or it won't, now you have wasted more money if it doesn't. It's a shame you can't return meds that you have side effects from.

The pain from fibro gets worst as you get older so I don't know what I have to look forward as far as getting better or eleviating the pain. Unfortunately, you just have to suffer and look forward to your good days. If I didn't have my faith in the Heavenly Father, sometimes I don't know what I would do.

I have a great husband that is very patient with me, however I feel really bad because the pain causes me to have mood swings and to be inpatient.
