Re: pain relief with Cymbalta/ just put on cymbalta

[Guest guest]

I saw so many doctors yesterday and today,

I was changed to the weaning off of lexapro and to the

beginning of cymbalta. cut my lexapro of 20 to 10 with

30 of cymbalta for 7 days. then stop lexapro and up

the cymbalta to 60. how does everyone feel about

cymbalta? i took this recipe this morning and could

hardley function.

none of the doctors can " fiqure out why I am having

these complete body jerks "

Having a EMG friday and will be having a sleep study.

ha ha,,, they should have fun when they put me in the

dark room with electrodes as I don't sleep more than

2-3 hours in 24 and i generally have to get up and

piddle about 4 times right after laying down.

They wont tell you this because this would make them look incompetent, but 50%

of all EEG's are wrong. They also only measure the surface scan of the brain, so

if your having internal seizures deep in the brain they might not pick it up.

Also with my seizures I found a connection between them and Urinary tract

Infections, " my body jerks were " considered " mental " until I had my scan's done.

They found what they were looking for but it still did not sit right with me

being " mental " whilst waiting on the tests including kidney test results. I am

still SLE positive on top of my FM so I guess it means very little after all.

seizures and psychosis go hand in hand with Lupus labels.
