Thank you. I am on some anti-depressant perhaps it can be changed to Cymbalta. I am at the beginning of year six. Ice used to work, then it was Chinagel cream and now I try various creams with lidocaine. It seems my body prefers one treatment for while and then it doesn't work anymore. I truly try but it's getting more difficult. Not much left to try. Going to the Mayo Clinic would be impossible due to funding and traveling. My super hypersensitive skin also referred to as Allodynia makes it impossible to wear anything below my waist. When I am forced to go to a doctors appt or something else just as exciting, it's compression shorts and I am always in pain. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them.

I was involved in that class action lawsuit for Cymbalta. I was having hallucinations at night and this zapping like feeling in my brain. I'd tell my doctor it felt like my brain was being electrocuted. It was hard to explain then I saw the commercial on TV, I'd stopped taking it for months by then, that said if you've experienced shock like symptoms.....I said "that's it, that is exactly what I was having" and the symptoms were documented by my doctor long before the lawsuit appeared. So needless to say, I can't take Cymbalta.
