a poet’s notebook
Somewhat desperate, I went to the doctor today, and he said he might actually have something that could help. He’s very encouraged by the research and his own patients’ experience. So, my own Cymbalta trial begins today. I’ll keep you posted; anyone else tried it yet?
[Yes, I know that’s not a cloud photo, but it’s today’s photo.]
I have a good friend recently diagnosed with fybromialgia and CFIDS. Is this new drug trial supposed to help treat fatigue? Curious.
Yes, I have and at the time i was against taking any meds because of the adverse effects, but I do remember having more energy. Someone in my church went from wheelchair to walking because of it
Dear SB, Hello, how are you doing? OK I hope. If you are up to reading, I have just found the blogs of two severe ME/CFS sufferers in Australia. Thought you might be interested in reading an interview and personal account by Jodie, as well as Steve’s blog. I’ve posted on it at my ME/CFS blog:

Take good care. Hope the dr visit helped you.
Best wishes

Thanks, Ingrid. That interview makes me grateful; I am so much better off than many. & I’ve added both sites to the sidebar.
Hi,
Found your weblog somehow and wanted to share that I just started Cymbalta as well. I’m only one week into it, though. My MS dr says it gives great hope for those with pain and fatigue. I’m keepin’ my fingers crossed on this one.
Hope your trial with it goes well and that it really helps you!!
