Thank you so much for your reply, yes I took cymbalta for two years or just shy of that and developed a terrible allergy to it .
I think u might have meant narcotics do not always help neuropathtic pain,which is true as they do help most types of other pain. In cases of extreme intractable pain such as mine thus far it is all the best have been able to offer me to keep me on this planet. I've been around the world trying to find a way to get off medicine all together, although originally I admit I thought I might also get cured. Having faced after 8 years that probably isn't going to happen this is currently my only option other than the pain pump. Which I am considering because I don't want to take oral meds. But my doctors do not think I can tolerate the surgery. I do take several other non pain scripts as well for spasms migraines lesions and other RSD problems. I hope your daughter is doing better. Thank you CZ
