I had my 5th back surgery last year in October. Months later when I was changing to lower doses of pain killers I noticed that I was having a horrible flare with my fibro and didn't know it because of the heavy drugs I was on. I have had fibro for 30 plus years and I have never hurt so badly.
Today I went to see my GP to talk to him about pain management for my fibro, back and just my over all chronic pain. He gave me a two week sample pack of Savella that will titrate me up to the normal dose. He has seen some really great results from this drug. So...tonight is dose number one.
He also changed my pain meds and Gabapentin dose and gave me some Trazodone for bedtime to help with sleep. I have used this before and it was great!!!
Hope the side effects aren't too bad. He did warn me about the nausea...though...
