Hi MomInPain,

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that you have gotten some pain relief - you SO deserve it and I really hope that the Cymbalta will continue to work and that you will be able to function "normally" whilst on it!!

I haven't been on Cymbalta. I think it's probably the only pain med that I haven't been on as it seems as though I have been on everything else lol. My PM Doctor told me that Lyrica was very like Cymbalta and my body couldn't tolerate that well at all so there wasn't much point in trying it.

I have heard that a lot of people with RSD are on Cymbalta though and there seems to be a very mixed response - some say that it works really well and others say that it doesn't help at all unfortunately!

I'm SO thrilled that you are getting some pain relief and hopefully this will be the start of you heading towards your remission!! I know you are thrilled to have less pain and want to do things but please don't overdo things and make yourself worse - that is the last thing you want!

Take care - i'm thinking about you and please keep us updated when you can!
