    Chemical imbalance in brain is cause of Fibro?

    I saw my Rheumatologist today for a quarterly check up. We have tried Cymbalta--bothered my kidneys and created worse leg cramps/spasm/twitching. Then he put me on Lyrica--that stuff is nasty, expensive and created mental health issues, he then added Lexapro and it caused heart palpations. He...

    Newly Diagnosed

    I was diagnosed a week ago, but have had symptoms going back 30 years. My rheumatologist didn't give me much guidance. I am already on Cymbalta, try to exercise daily, go for chiro and massages. I heard B12 injections can be helpful. Anything else I can do.
