What Are The Side Effects Of Intake Of Cymbalta For Severe Pain Due To Fibromyalgia?

I suffer from Fibromyalgia and in a lot of pain. My job is very heavy lifting and shift work. I keep active, walking, hiking, swimming etc... but 9% of the time I am in pain. With this pain I suffer depression at times. As I am getting older the pain is getting worse. I am concerned about starting Cymbalta due to all the side effects mentioned. I did take one pill, one day and I felt sick to my stomach. With my job I can t feel like that. Is this the medication for me? Thank you. Dale Carr.

You have fibromyalgia,and has to to do heavy work,in spite of the pain.
You started taking cymbalta,but it is sick to your stomach. If you are particular of taking cymbalta,there is a way.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms with cymbalta ranitidine once or twice daily to be comfortable.
If you are not particular about cymbalta, alternative treatment is ,
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days,and then periodically,calcium suppliments, and pain killers.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers,tomato,egg, chicken,and and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
