Just remember this....It isn't always progressive. I got it in my feet several years ago, and it has not moved at all.

Also, if the Cymbalta isn't working, you can try another medication. Not alll meds effect people the same way. For me? I take Lexirpro. It doesn't give me any side-effects, and it definitely helps with my anxiety/depression.

Lastly....you are alive. Check the obits.....people over 50 drop dead every day from heart attacks and strokes. Be thankful that you are vertical.....dust yourself off, find the right med that works, and don't assume that it will get worse!

Last month I added this little bugger called "Tinnitus". Now THAT'S a lousy disorder. Google that one, and you will know what I mean.
