It just becomes a sponge, that makes the Sweat/Chill cycle more VICIOUS.
I shower, dry, and spray the worst areas with anti perspirant.
And, I use a blow dryer on whatever temp is desirable to "dry off".
Cool mostly.

Also, be careful, that's a lot of cymbalta. 60mg. is written as the max, in the manufacturers own literature.
Ask your doctor!!

Be well!

Hi Pete,

The max is 2/ 60 mg. per day; my doc upped it to 3 as it helped with the neuropathy. I have been on Cymbalta since 2004 and doc increased it to 2 @ 60 mg after the 1st yr. It was in 2008 that doc increased it to 3 per day. I have blood test on a reg. basis. I hate needles..since diagnosed, having blood test is horribly painful!

Thanks,
Dew
