Thanks very much for including the proper URL that I referred to in my post Colleen. Thanks for your confirmation of this lecture to you as well Rowan. It truly is one of the most comprehensive packages that I have seen in respect to CRPS. I wish ALL doctors had to sit through that presentation (especially the ones that don't believe that there is anything wrong with you!!!!

I currently take 150 mg of Lyrica twice a day. I also take 60 mg of Cymbalta a day. The Cymbalta has made a world of difference. I still hurt but the Cymbalta takes away the pain and I hardly ever have to take a pain pill. I went to Vanderbilt to see a neurologist and the only thing he offered me was a higher dose of Cymbalta. He told me I could take up to 120 mg a day but said every time you increase the dosage, you increase the chance of side effects and one of the side effects was loss of memory. So, at this time, I am afraid to increase the dosage. I will consider this only if it becomes unbearable.

@oldnana, I'm tagging a few other members who have or are taking Cymbalta. @blindeyepug @workwithkids @salena54 @dlady @bobsconnect what might you add to OldNana's thought about increasing the dosage?

Thanks for the Cymbalta info. Losing memory is excruciating- mimics Alzheimers. I already have those issues from other current meds, so don't want to add to it!

Watched the video. It was great. A lot of good information
