daily migraines even though i'm on cymbalta for fibro?



Hey guys.

I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia on October 23rd this year and I was put on cymbalta which helps a lot, however, I am still getting dail migraines. Is this happening to anyone else? What else could cause this?

i should have noted that i did get the Western Blot Lyme Disease test 2 weeks ago. It was quite confusing; said i have 3 abnormal bands, 1 of them being in the 'possitive' group and 1 of them being in the negetive. if i could post a picture of it i would. it is very confusing and my nuerologist said have the MS specialist look at it when i go to balitmore in February.

It would be nice if i could have someone look at it now and tell me if there is something wrong. by the looks of it, it looks like there may be something wrong.

any way i can send someone my results from the blot test?

Hey xxSamanthaJ.

Phtartist gave you some good advice.
The stats are grim or great depending how you take it.
Over 70% of CFS and FMS sufferers, have a low grade undetectable
underlying infection, such as Babesia, Lymes, Mycoplasma, Bartonella
Ehrlichia, HHV-6 or any combination.
Grim because most of treating doctors will think (not actually say it)
"what the bleep she's talking about?", either due to ignorance, or deliberate
avoidance.
Great, because once verified and diagnosed, with the proper treatment,
one may recover completely, whereas with the FMS dx, it's like a medical sentence, with no "medical" cure possibility, just symptom management.

Let me know if you need more details.

Take care.

I was on Cymbalta and suffered migraines. It turned out I had Lymes disease, Babesia and Mycoplasma another illness you can get from ticks. Once treated properly, my migraines left.
Long story short .... Get tested properly for Lymes at IGENIX   Or MDL labs. Other labs do not have the capability to do the testing intricately enough to detect Lymes.  Find a Lyme literate doctor first.
ILADS is a good place to start
