GMA airs from 7 to 9am. We're told the segment will be teased and shown at 8am.

Best,

Thanks for the tip. I will definitly watch it.

I'm surprised that Cymbalta is being pushed by the FDA so hard for Chronic Pain. I understand the concept behind all these anti-depressants helping with really nerve pain not all chronic pain conditions. But I could not take Cymbalta again, I did try it, or any other type of drug in that class. Honestly I never reacted to any of them well and I feel they changed my whole personality and did absolutely nothing for pain in my case..

I have heard of "forgrace.org" and have seen her on the Discovery Channel and now has a director working for her. I know her organization has done much to get the word out for RSD. Just hope they don't have a deal with the Cymbalta manufacturers??? For drug manufacturers it's always about dollars and profit. I think Cymbalta is a dangerous drug and I have heard the same from my doctor, all be carefull. This is only my opinion.
