I know I still have a long road, but I am already tired!
I am itching CONSTANTLY right now, it actually makes it hard to sleep, so I have to go get a new prescription for the itching woo hoo lol I sure hope it helps!

Thank you for letting us know of your dr. calling. sounds like a good move to wean off the cymbalta first. sounds like you have a good plan to see neuro and pain doc- this disorder calls for the long haul approach. But, I've found after 16 years, I'm in a much better place pain wise-sensitivity to touch better, the electric shocks are gone after years of high dose neurotin. the burn, tingling is still pretty bad, as dealing with the 'heat' of the body. Going thru the pain of physical therapy and getting use of harms, hands, toes, etc was well worth it, but tough at the time. So for those just starting the road, hand in there- it can and often does get better. Keep us posted how you are doing. loretta
