So sorry to hear about your accelerated pain. You could be having bad mood swings from the terrible pain that you are experiencing. It seems odd that the Savella would suddenly cause mood swings after you have been taking it for the past 2 years, but anything is possible. What does your doctor have to say about your sudden bad pain? Often, when pain comes back, the answer is to raise the medication, especially something like Savella which has the very same ingredients as an anti-depressant.
Fibromyalgia can get a lot worse at times. And any kind of pain is possible with fibromyalgia. I know what you mean about the bed hurting. I have to sleep with the furriest of blankets used as a sheet and it always takes me a long time to get comfortable in bed.
I really think that you should call your doctor. Good luck.
I have never in the past 4 years been out of pain 100%. All the doctor can do is ease the pain and give another pill. Vicodin helps more than anything. I do think that I am having really bad mood swings off the Savella.
my pain level is back up again onl Savella for fibro. I am also on vicodin for pain. Gabapintan (spell?) for nerve endings. I am in a fog sometimes and the side effects of the Savella lasted for about 4 weeks. The pain went away. After about 2 years or more now the pain has returned.
My pain level is back up to 5 or 6. I have days/nights every now and then that puts me to bed and pain level is 10+ last night it hurt laying on the bed. The preasure of my skin agains the bed hurt.
I have been taking it for about 2 years now. My doctor only has 3 of us on it in his office. My pain is coming back too. And I am not too sure that it isn't the sorce of some of the very bad mood swings and anger at even being around is coming from. I refuse to take the other meds, and my doctor won't put me on them.
I am currently on Cymbalta and Savella. My doctor put me on the Savella recently it has been alittle over a month. I do have the horrible sweets, headaches and now noticed something very weird that im calling my doctor about tomorow. My second toe on each foot is extreamly swollen, bright red and numb. I don't know whats causing this but recently started after this new medication. I'm always feeling like i'm in a fog and a walking zombie for awhile now even before Savella but I was on Cymbalta.
