Welcome, Madame "New Here". So glad to see you. Thanks for the picture. I just have to tell you that my daughter was here for a visit yesterday. She is older than you are at 59. Also wiser and more adventuresome than I ever was.

So..you are taking gabby, "Gabapentin" and "Cymbalta", (Duloxetine). So am I. Before we, as mentors can comment, we would like to know if they are doing what they are supposed to do. How long have you been suffering?

I sort of guessed that the liquid you put under your tongue just might be a cannabis tincture. By letting the membrane under your tongue filter and process the liquid, the medication goes right to your brain instead of through your digestive system. You begin to receive relief within 15 - 20 minutes. Have you found medical alternatives helpful?

May you be safe, protected, and free of inner and outer harm.

God Bless You! I have Fibro and other maladies and stay in pain and fatigued a lot. I can't tolerate the two meds you are taking. I take Flexeril on the worst of days, soak in Epsom salt, use Voltaren Gel and heat packs. I'm not familiar with the liquid you put under your tongue. Fibro is a silent physical problem.....we look fine....but we don't feel fine. I have had it for 28 years. Personally, I believe that having Epstein Barr (Mono) back in Junior high, chronic sinus infections for years weakened my immune system and caused the Fibro. I use tolerate massages on my back, but, I can't now. Have you had a complete thyroid panel done? Often thyroid disease goes along with Fibro and can contribute to arthritis. God Bless You and praying for you tonight. I understand and I care.

Chronic pain is so wicked. I also take gabby and duloxitine. Don't know what I'd do without them. I hope the tincture works for you. I've considered it but I've read that it can interfere with gabby. Don't know the veracity of that. I would love to know how it works for you.
Best.
