Hi everyone, I am a recently diagnosed 51-year-old woman and I’m struggling with days of intense depression. My primary care doctor has mentioned that Cymbalta can help alleviate the depression especially in chronic pain disease patients. Does anyone out there have any experience with Cymbalta?
This is very helpful. I haven't been functioning on a normal level for the past year. I am so discouraged. This might help while I wait for Blue Cross to decide if they will cover the drug Sublocade… read more

I am on Lyrica & Cymbalta. I also have spinal stenosis and scoliosis. I have blood spots on my arms and legs from whenever I rub up against a corner, shelf (when putting stuff away), and carrying anything over my arm (like a purse). My bloodwork came back fine. Anybody have answers on this issue?
I have Spondyloarthropathy
Hell yeah
Most mornings my heels feel like they are literally on hot coals
That’s from what sleep I do manage, absolutely dread even going to bed anymore.
Usually nod off for an hour then wake… read more
I started having some numbness and tingling in my right shoulder, down the arm and into the hand. This is 2nd time in a week it has happened. I can still move it, still feel like normal, no pain, no other symptoms (other than panic/anxiety thinking it might be a stroke) I mentioned it to my rheumatologist when i saw her last week and she said its probably a nerve as the other time happened when i was driving for a couple of hours..
Has something like this happened to anyone else?
I know most of us has numbing and tingling of parts of our bodies. What do you take for it? My gabapentin isnt working anymore. I am only taking 200mg at night, since it makes me feel “drunk”. Not sure if the numb arms, legs or creepy crawly feeling inside my head is the worst. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks in advance!
Lyrica 100mg bid
I’ve tried methotrexate- it caused a terrible rash/burn on my neck. I really want to replace prednisone. I don’t like who I am when I’m on it. Suggestions on spasms and inflammatory meds appreciated!
Since having biologic infusion 8 days ago, have been having abdominal pain (not sharp pain). Is anyone else having similar issues with biologic? I'm wondering if it could be another issue popping up or if it's a side effect. 🤯🙏. Always praying, always trusting Him. ❤️

I've been told by my GP that because I've had a gastric bypass that there are not many options for me to reduce pain. Does anyone have tips or have the same problem?
I saw my primary and she thinks it’s just a L-5,S1 problem. She did draw some labs just in case it’s an inflammatory condition. I haven’t heard what the results were. That was Thursday and today is… read more
