Just to update you, the Cymbalta has taken effect and my headaches have gone, it is a great neurological painkiller!

I unfortunately have had stomach trouble again, but it is a price worth paying to get rid of the constant headaches.

I will probably stay on Cymbalta for my PCS for another six months because it seems to reduce symptoms for me, and allows me to work without distraction.

The other bonus is that my mood has lifted somewhat as well due to its antidepressant qualities.
