Hi all: I am a newbie to the world of online support groups but unfortunately not unaccustomed to having pain and health issues since my early 20's. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune related disease in my mid twenties. Months ago I began experiencing chronic pain, and tenderness all over my...

I'm in the very beginning stages from being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I am still trying to figure out a lot of things and one of them is medicine. So far, medicaid will not pay for any of the meds my doctor would prefer to start me out with; Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Savella, have all been...

Hello,
I'm new to this board. I thought it would be good to share my story. My wife and I were married in 1989. We've had a beautiful life together raising our daughter. Then there was a day back in December 2009 that my wife began to experience pain. She visited the doctor in June 2010...

Right now, I'm just wanting to curl up into a ball and cry and I seriously think it would help to just get it out. And, I know I am just getting started in this battle which makes me want to cry worse. :cry:
I tried Cymbalta for pain and had a severe reaction to it. Dr. gave me Gabapentin. I...
I have FINALLY been Officially diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last month and my doctor and I are having major issues finding something that helps. I also have Vaso Vagal disorder which aggravates my chronic fatigue, and intermittant tachycardia with an occasional extra heart beat.

Well here it goes.. I went to get into my car yesterday to drive to the city to see the grandkids and kids for a bowling birthday party. I looked at the gas tank and thought Wow I need to get gas. I stopped at the next little town and filled up but it hardly took any gas! When I got back in my...
Diagnosis confirmed in August. Feel fortunate that I have a good team of docs helping me navigate this new life stage as it seems many of you do not. Primary care doc, rheumatologist, psychiatrist, therapist and CBT--all on the same page with me. Currently taking Cymbalta as I also have...
I've missed about 2 weeks of work because I was prescribed Cymbalta and it put me through hell. This is day 4 off Cymbalta now. I went into work yesterday to see how I would do and couldn't get any work done because everyone just wanted to know about what I was going through. One person after...
I did an experiment this week, after my acupunctureist told me to try it. I cut all grains out of my diet this entire week (I also do not eat corn, wheat, dairy, and soy due to allergies and intolerances.) I've been going through Cymbalta withdrawal this week too (been struggling with nasty...
