Hi,
I started taking Cymbalta 3 years ago. I had tried so many drugs to relieve the searing, burning pain in my legs and for other chronic pain. On the morning of the third day of taking Cymbalta, I awoke to NO burning in my legs. This drug has been a miracle for me. As a few more days passed, my awful heel pain that doctors said was Plantar Fasciitis, totally disappeared and has never returned.
Regarding side effects, I felt a little more brain fog for about a week but that soon passed. Cymbalta allows me to live my life, handle my ADL’s and socialize again. Before Cymbalta, I was in too much pain to function.
As a note, I will add that I tried Lyrica and found no benefit from it at all.
I know that we all have different journeys and I hope you find a drug that helps you as much as Cymbalta helps me.
Blessings and Joy,
Karen
