I am over most of the side effects of Cymbalta, but the stomach intestinals problems are solved with a antacid.
I am a cash patient, so if the Rheumy prescribes IVIG treatments I will give it a try. I realize it is pretty pricey...
IVIG is more then just pricey. My monthly infusion runs about $25,000. Of course insurance doesn't pay that much in the end, but they do pay over $10,000 a month.

Hopefully, the Cymbalta will continue to work for you.
