"In the past 10 yrs. I&#039;ve had L-4/5 back fusion and the right sacroiliac fuses and screws removed....still much pain on sitting.  I&#039;ve had many injections/treatments that were all unsuccessful.  I&#039;d gotten so used to feeling bad that I&#039;ve just noticed after several months of taking Savella that I stay flushed, bloated, have problems urinating, headachy, flu-like stuffiness, blurred vision, nauseated, weight gain, among other symptoms.  I&#039;ve been in such a fog with the usual pain that on vacation I finally decided to look this possibility up.  It&#039;s a relief to know that I don&#039;t have to endure these any longer. I dread coming off of it, but I can tough it out to feel at least as good as I did before."
