Hi, it's Myra (the newbie from WV) again. I saw my family doctor Tuesday and just began taking Cymbalta today. She thought it was an excellent suggestion. She had read over the PN material I'd printed out for her and said my symptoms sure seem to fit the criteria. We'll see. Anyway, the Cymbalta see...

Dear JRS, sorry it's taken me so long to respond. It's been a bad couple of weeks and it's all I can do just to work and go home. This chronic pain sure messes with your physical and mental stamina.

His office returned my call and was supposed to mail out an information packet to me yesterday to complete and return to...

It was a particularly painful day and I decided to try to research for possible answers. This is the first I've ever heard of PN or PNE and now I can't wait to ...
