Theta,

I think you hit the nail on the head with the term 'masking', I feel that many of the problems are still there but are disguised by the Cymbalta. One thing I do know is that I wouldn't be as improved without it as I am back working part time and it has reduced all my symptoms. I am glad it is helping you and others, and its a pity about some of its side effects for people. I hope you continue to recover as well. It is nice to know that other people with PCS have found Cymbalta very helpful.
