I'm on Neurontin but also take Welbutrin for depression. If I stretch, do mild exercise in the warm rehab pool, and the weather is warm I feel pretty good. What about you?

I have rheumatoid arthritis as well as degenerative joint disease and have had 2 spinal surgeries, a knee replacement and a hip replacement. I AM THROUGH WITH REPLACEMENT SURGERIES!!! I just trade one set of pains for another. . I take Neurontin, Lortab, Soma, Paxil and Voltaren. I don't have a pool available but when I did, the mild exercises nearly killed my back. I am weather sensitive and hot weather is a big enemy! I think the only real answer to fibromyalgia is to maintain a healthy sense of humor, spend quality time with family and friends (I live alone but I'm blessed with a wonderful group of family and friends), and trust in God to give the strength necessary to keep on keeping on.

Cymbalta (duloxetine) has been the only thing that has really nelped me:

If you would like to try it and don't have insurance, here is a good place to order:

Normally it's best to start out at 30 mg. and work up to 60 mg. It takes about a month to get over the bad side effects and be able to sleep. I kept taking a little of my other antidepressant for about a month along with Cymbalta.
