I think it is very common for those who suffer chronic pain from as disease such as RSD to experience depression... Let's face it.. RSD is a bear who never hides in the woods!! When reality sets in that this is our life now.. Our normal has now changed... We lost our normal and accepting our life with pain.. It's a hard hurtle to get past... Cymbalta is a good medicine not only for depression but also chronic pain.. So if we RSD people can take it for depression and pain... Why it's a double dipper win!!!
Wishing you all a restful less painful nights sleep,,,
