@dals, I am so sorry to hear of the road you have traveled. I believe I could say I know some of what you have faced. Every doctor has said, well, I don't know maybe your need more rest, or lets check this and that. How many years did I walk this earth and did not know I had RA. Now I found out I am at Stage 3 on Kidney Disease...How long has that gone overlooked. I finally have an appt at the Pain Clinic at the University. I really don't want any narcodics. But, a stronger dose of Ibprophen. I pray that you have some relief. Even a day of no pain will make you feel like there is a chance that you will someday be pain free.

Cymbalta I thought was going to help but after a week it wore of ,best thing I have found for me is Fibro Malic has the right kind of magnesium in it.So I'm sticking to this and Tramadol Meloxicam .
I was also prescribed Cymbalta for pain and it has not helped one bit. Also my skin began breaking out all over the place - my face, my chest and my back. I'm 56 and my skin is always clear and never breaks out. I couldn't figure out what was causing it so I began eliminating new things that I had begun using but I was still breaking out more than ever. Today I looked up Cymbalta and Acne and it popped up immediately, not just patients complaining about it. Rather, it was a scientific study that showed how many people suffered what kind of side effects. Quite a lot of people experienced breaking out with Acne. I began to taper down tonight because Cymbalta is a drug that should never should be stopped cold turkey. I will call my MD tomorrow to confirm with him that I'm tapering correcting,
Good for you Parus I was only on 30 mg so I us stopped since this is a or does I called my rheumatologist to let her know. The Dr,s work for us remember ,we pay them to get us better not the drug companies.
Good for you remember th Dr,s work for us ,we pay them to make us better,not the drug companies.we are our best advocate for our health ,it it doesn't feel right stop it.
I agree. It used to be Drs put their patience ahead of all else. Read up on everything. I agree if something is bugging you to stop or not get involved in a certain drug. Stop

Im so sorry you have to endure so much. I have taken so many nerve type meds and nsaids my stomach can't do them anymore. Oxycotin is the only med that has helped my pain. I am going to try and get back to relaxation techniques and try turmeric. I don't have RA but my husband does and he takes Enbril which helps him a lot. I do have OA and have one knee replaced and the other is bone on bone. It is so hard to deal with the everyday pain and Im sad to read everyone's story but it is healing to finally be able to talk about it. Thank you.
