thanks for replying litlove,

i've been on cymbalta for about a year or so... when i first started it, my rsd was only in my right foot & leg. also, i guess i should have mentioned that i am on oral pain meds on top of the cymbalta. rsd is not the only ailment i talke pain medicine for.

i talked to the nurse at my pain clinic and she is going to talk to my dr. and call me back. i am open to the idea that it is the cymbalta & i need to build it back up but i need to do something else while it does because i am miserable...

I find that when I get flare ups similar to what you described...where it hurts all over...hot baths with Epsom salts tend to help. Not a lot...but it's something. I will even take baths twice a day when things are bad. Heating pads and a space heater also help me when it's bad...but the bath is the best because it is all over warmth.

I found that 92 degree aquatic therapy helps, but is costly on a monthly basis.

I hope that helps, god bless!
