Discontinuation And Recurrent Pain

I believe you are so right on this one , thismoment! The back pain was very difficult to deal with in early withdrawals! I am finding that most any thing, be it a cold, physical exhaustion, and the Graves Disease that I was FINALLY diagnosed with brings back that back pain, just not as bad. Am I nuts or is all this physical stuff with the Graves associated with the Cymbalta? I have even allowed myself to think about going on another anti-d. The anxiety and depression just gets to me at times. The thought of going back on something just scares the crap outta me! I am glad I have an answer to what's been going on, but the "fix" is not a quick one. As with the anti-ds, the meds I was put on takes 6-8 weeks to kick in fully. Sometimes I feel as if I'm hanging by a very thin thread! God bless us all! love and hugs and thanks to all my forum friends for being here for me!!!!

I know it is true for me. I have pain in most every joint.
I have been diagnosed with mixed connective disease. It is an autoimmune disease that has components of several autoimmune diseases. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia due to painful pressure points years ago. This is why I started taking Cymbalta. I didn't have MCTD back then. my only abnormal blood work to support an autoimmune disease was positive ANA and high C reactive protein. I now test positive for Anti-RNP, the antibody that is associated with MCTD .
Has anyone else developed an autoimmune disease or have a new one added to an existing one, while taking Cymbalta?
Just wondering if there is a connection.

So sorry, Renee..
That's like me being in the .04% who develop anxiety while taking Magnesium. Sheesh!
Are you still taking the CuraMed? or if not, was it not helping any more?
In answer to your question, I have developed extreme pain in my lower right back and left middle of my back that was never there before or during the C. Don't know if it caused this - really have no way of knowing. It seems we all come out with more than we had before this poison drug. I never had pain like this...

20 mgs of Methimazole daily... As usual some possible side effects. Just hope my head doesn't fall off! We'll see in a few weeks! I'm just tired of being tired! God bless y'all!
