A lot of what you describe is typical for Cymbalta. The pins, needles, burning are all forms of peripheral neuropathy. It will pass. You are right about the blood sugar. It is a good idea to check it. I am concerned about your destructive thoughts. Are you sure you don't need to tell your dr about it?

Three and a half months is the turning point. Where good days are getting more and more numerous. Have you felt the slightest amelioration recently?
This is where it gets better and better. Supposed to get better.
I would give it a few weeks more, if it doesn't get any better, I would think of going on something else. Like Zoloft or Prozac or Lexapro. Long half lives. My thoughts!

A couple weeks ago it seemed as though I was on an upswing. I felt better and decide to get more active. I went for a couple 3 mile runs two consecutive days. This is much shorter than the distances I've done before. I noticed my back tightening up in the days afterwards and things went downhill from there. It's taken a week and a half of feeling horrible to start to break. I'm hoping that this time things continue to get better. Just like everyone says, sometimes it's two steps forward and five steps back. I will be keeping a close eye on my feelings. Hoping those improve as well. We'll see what the next few weeks brings.

That's good to hear, there was improvement, until you overdid it.
.
FH often mentions that if you outdo yourself during withdrawal, that you will pay for it in the days to come. I guess this is what happened.
Keep a journal of your feelings every day to see what's going on, we so forget.
And do keep updating please, it's a very interesting phase you are going through, the 3 1/2 months where big changes begin. You get more good days but still combined with bad days.
I will be following you my dear.
