Oh and I forgot to put, the Cymbalta I don't know if it worked directly with my pain. But it improved my mood which then helped me cope with being in pain all the time. I then had to worry WAY WAY less about my mood, and I had more energy to have the relationships around me. I say it was a lifesaver with me. Good luck to you, and keep us updated on how it affects you! Hopefully good not bad, but if so... we can get through it
