About Me
Married 28yrs. 3 children, 1 grandson, and 1grandbaby(?)on the way! I have had aches & pains for as long as I can remember. Was diagnosed around 2004 and first tried Elavil. It helped for awhile, but I still had pain. Switched to Cymbalta 2 yrs. ago and gradually increased doseage to 90mg. I've gained about 20lbs since taking meds, and I'm currently going to try lowering dose to 30mg. and maybe even stop & see if any natural remedies out there that work. Even @ 90mg. I still had symptoms. Don't think I want to try Lyrica as the side effects don't sound too appealing.
