When it comes to cymbalta, gabapentin, lyrica, whatever the case. they really just scramble the brain signals. Even in cases where they may mask the pain or confuse the signals, the side effects from these medications are debilitating in my opinion. I've tried them all. After a while the fact that you cant remember things, stumble around, are dizzy, etc. It's not worth it because of the fact that those are pretty bad and in some cases can put u in situations where you can get seriously hurt.

I would seriously look into supplementation, give them a few months to deliver results. Most of the supplements for SFn also help with blood sugar levels, so its a win win. CHeck my signature and janieg's above me. Most importantly B-12 and R-Lipoic Acid, because there are studies that show they have actually benefitted people with this condition.

This is an awful condition it really is. Try to stay strong and have hope, you'll have bad days and not as bad days.
