ibromyalgia
"I&#039;m a 51 year old female. My fibromyalgia was diagnosed 6 years ago in 2003. I also have neuropathy, degenerative disc disease, Celiac&#039;s disease and an assortment of auto-immune disorders. I&#039;ve just completed the first two weeks of being on Savella. Only in the past few days have I noticed a very slight easing up of my pain. The side effects that I am experiencing are: Dry Mouth, Increased Headaches, Some Blurred Vision, Increased Tingling, Mild Constipation, Some Short Term Memory Problems, Moments of Confusion/Disorientation, and a Few Episodes of Increased Heart Rate. I&#039;ve decided to continue with the Savella, at least for 4 more weeks, as long as I can tolerate the side effects. Of course, it&#039;s my hope that I&#039;ll see more reduction in my pain levels as my body adjusts to taking the Savella. In the past, I&#039;ve tried to take Lyrica, two different times. However, the side effects from it were simply unbearable."
