"My mother is dealing with chronic pain and has fibromyalgia" (worrieddaughter09)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

Hi,

I am new to the group but not new to fibromyalgia. I was recently put on cymbalta and having alot of side effects on it. I was wondering if anybody has experienced similar problems with cymbalta. I also recently heard of the fibromyalgia clinic in Troy Mi. Has anybody heard of them? They are all over the U.S.

Look forward to any responses.

MOME

I have been taking Cymbalta since Nov. I am currently on 50mg nightly. When I first started taking it, I was really sick. However, that went away. Now I don't think I have too many side effects from it. It has definitely helped my mood but not my pain.

What kind of side effects are you having? Also, have you discussed them with your dr? How long have you been taking it?

I wish you the best of luck with any meds...as you will read in the posts here, not everyone has the same effects from meds. So, whatever you end up with, I hope it works well for you.

Hi Mome...

Welcome to the group!

I've never tried Cymbalta and never heard of a Fibro Clinic! I wish though!

So, I'm sorry that I can't help you there...but a great big 'WELCOME' from me to you!
