Hi Sunshine,
I am on Cymbalta. I've had discussions with my Dr. about anxiety and symptoms of rsd. We both agree anxiety increases pain and general bad feelings. He has me on Lorazepam 1 mg. 3 times a day. I told him if I had to choose between vicodin and Lorazepam, I would rather diminish Vicodin and take the Lorazepam 3 times a day. So I really work on a good attitude, relaxation, meditation, music, candles, swimming,, just trying my best to stay in a positive frame of mind.
Hope you are relaxed and having a nice evening. Have you ever tried Biofeedback?
Some hospitals have classes for it. In fact some pain management facilities offer courses in biofeedback. It's worth the time to check it out. Take care, loretta
