Hi everyone. Im new here. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue 2 years ago. Im 56, but feel I've had symptoms since my 20's
I was prescribed duloxetine (cymbalta) 30mg. They worked for a short time. I then went to a private neurologist as I thought there was something
being missed. He confirmed fibromyalgia diagnosis and doubled my duloxetine to 60mg. Again this worked for a while. I've recently had multiple
Flare ups. The aching burning pain is bad, but I've just experienced fatigue like I've never known...it was painful to keep my eyes open, I couldn't function.
I work full time and found it quite scary. I had to go home. I'm now scared of that feeling coming back. It only lasted a day.
My question to you all is does medication work. I'm not willing to keep upping the dose. I was thinking of stopping them altogether. Can anyone recommend
some kind of self help.
Thank-you in advance xx
