Re: Ringing and/or pain in your ears

[Guest guest]

I had sever pain in my R ear a few years ago and they did every test

under the sun trying to find the source of the pain in the end

deciding that it was " neuropathic pain " either referred or on its own.

Yours sounds very similar to what I was experiencing -- it was

incredibly painful! That's when I started taking Neurontin and it has

truly helped. As long as I take it regularly, I do not have any

significant problems w/ R ear pain anymore.

Hope this helps!

He has the nerve to tell me that is probably what is causing the ringing.

Wow!!! I have never heard this. I have had ringing since I can't

remember. I take Cymbalta because the Neuronton was giving me side

effects. Maybe I will try to take the Cymbalta on a regular basis and

see if this will do the same. I am afraid of the side

effects....weight gain(???). I can't afford to gain anymore weight.

I don't post much...in to much pain even on meds. Its finally nice

and sunny in Michigan, at least for the next five minuets, so I am a

little more perky today.

Anyone gain weight on Cymbalta?

My mom has FMS and started taking Cymbalta about 2 1/2 months ago. We

finally talked her into talking her doctor into discontinuing her Effexor,

which my sister (who is also a fibromite) and I could see was causing some

really serious side effects. She's finally coming out of her slump, says

she actually has feelings of happiness, and less pain. She has not said

anything about weight gain. She's more mobilized now than she's been in a

while. I pray it lasts for her.

I'm like you - I'd like to try something like Cymbalta or Lyrica, but

cannot afford to get any bigger than I already am. And, with my Health

Saving Account related insurance and huge co-pay I generally have to

outright purchase my meds, and everyone says they're EXPENSIVE. <sigh>

If I were you I would definately give it a shot, since there is a chance you

could maintain your weight AND get pain relief. If I were in your situation

I just couldn't bypass a chance to be pain free.

Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide to do and how it works for

you!

Cymbalta has been a godsend to me and as for the weight gain- I was a little

chunky before and haven't notice it being a contributing factor. Go for it!
