Hi all. I'm new to this forum but was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia by my neurologist today. She is also starting me on Cymbalta for pain management but I was wondering if anyone here has tried that and if it helped or not. Does the pain come and go even being on this med? It seems like the...

I am really having a difficult time finding someone in my area that knows what the hell they are doing or specialize in fibro and cfs.
