I'm in agreeance with them to a certain point, but 90% of it is my CRPS I know for a fact. Was thinking the cymbalta was supposed to help with that, but not sure it is. Maybe the pm Dr. can help with that issue. It's gotten to a point where I feel like I have stood up too fast just from sitting in a normal chair. It's getting annoying :/ Headed to the ent tomorrow to get my "lumpy" throat and tight diaphragm checked out as well as get my allergy shot. I sure hope I can get something to help soon. Trying to work is becoming a hassle  |
Once i started taking cymbalta alot of my anxiety and depression went away. It became easier to cope with my health issues. Before i would get overwhelmed very easily when i tried to keep up with my responsibilities - work, family, cooking, cleaning. I was continually falling short in all areas and very upset that no matter how hard i tried, i could not do it. Cymbalta helps me keep calm and cope with moving at a slower pace. I've learned my physical limitations and literally cannot do what i used to do. Its frustrating and at times i get upset about what i have lost. I am slowly building a new life based on what i can do. Someone posted a link to a youtube presentation by dr pradeep chopra about crps. I reviewed it recently and you may find it really helpful in understanding just what crps is,how it affects people, goes internal in some cases, and treatment options. Might be worth checking out.
