I was feelin better but still have horrible headaches about once a week. Mild ha everyday. Its just the big ones every now and then that i cant handle. I am stressed out a bit  tryin not to be. Its really hard to relax. My mom totally gets me but it seems like my boys and fiance just forget sometimes that i cant do it all. I quit lettin what im goin thru show, unless its a real bad day and then i cant hide it.

I thought you were doing better.  Sorry to hear your not feeling well.  I also would suggest laying on a heat pad for 15 min.s it does seem to help, but not longer than that otherwise your muscles will tense up more.  I know it is hard to hear, but as Selmas stated stress can do a number on us.  I have experienced this myself.  I have never had Cymbalta either.  They have me on Keppra for Fibro, and Zoloft for depression.  I don't like taking them but we have to do what is best for our bodies.  Be patient.  Easier said than done, but give the med's a chance to get into your symptom.  I know on my good day's I over do it and then I pay for it for the next few day's so I suggest you to do thing's in moderation.  I know this is hard being a mom, but you have to do what is best for you in order to heal.  Best wishes for a brighter day   :)       Linda

  Hi...I am not experienced with Cymbalta and I was never on it....I know it is used for those with fibro.....and I wonder with being laid off if some of ur issues r stress related?

  Stress will manifest differently in a post op person...we r more sensitive.....

Try and relax....
