In this category, i want everyone to be able to share their experiences with confidence.
Just please keep in mind that everyone's body is different, and if something didn't work for you, or caused you to have a scary reaction that landed you in the ER, that may not be the way it is for someone else.
I humbly request that if someone is starting a new therapy, or a new med, that rather than regale them with horror stories about how you projectile vomited across the room (ahem, Savella) i would prefer that you keep it to "I had a bad reaction to that one, i hope it works for you."
If someone asks you to elaborate, then you can go for it. I just don't want people to freak out and be discouraged before they even give something new a try.
Thanks for the understanding. I really want people to be able to post things like "Am starting Savella, it's a newer med in the US for nerve pain, has anyone heard of it?"

I have a friend who projectile vomited across the room while taking Savella... * gimps away* Several times. Several times for me. I know that all too well. It's embarassing for me. I've had it happen in public places, while I was driving, and at home. I feel like such a reject when that happens.

I've had it happen in public places, while I was driving, and at home. I feel like such a reject when that happens. I projectile vomited from Savella. I also have a tendancy to throw up when i have a migraine, cleaning up puke when you could cheerfully decapitate yourself is not a fun thing. Standing on the side of the road when you have you do it NOW, while other cars are driving by isn't pleasant either. I've been there, and it's no fun. Try not to feel like a reject, you are not alone.

Hmm, if all of my other meds fail (which they don't seem to be doing great) my doc wants to try Savella. I've only puked four times in the last 11 years, though, so maybe I'll be able to hold it down, ha!
