Members shared mixed experiences with Cymbalta for fibromyalgia, with several reporting severe side effects including excessive sleeping, increased appetite, mood swings, and rage, while others found it ineffective even after months of use. Many members expressed frustration over delayed diagnosis, difficulties accessing rheumatology care, and the challenge of managing flare-ups alongside other conditions like osteoarthritis and tennis elbow. A recurring theme was the importance of respecting each person's treatment choices, whether medication, gentle exercise like yoga and aquafit, or rest days, with members pushing back against judgmental comments and emphasizing mutual support over prescriptive advice.

As People with chronic illness we don't like it when people tell us what we should be doing.
