Members shared a wide range of non-medication approaches they've found helpful after stopping Cymbalta, with magnesium supplements (malate and glycinate) and Benfotiamine for nerve pain being the most frequently mentioned. Several members expressed strong interest in CBD and full-spectrum hemp oil, discussing their legal availability, different forms (topical, oral, capsules), and one member enthusiastically describing it as life-changing for fibro pain, sleep, and headaches. A recurring theme was frustration with prescription access and side effects, leading many to explore supplements, meditation, gentle movement like yoga and pool classes, and a multi-pronged wellness approach tailored to individual symptoms.

I never knew there was a support site for Fibromyalgia until now. The main reason I sought this site out was to share my success because of the many issues I have dealt with and never got any relief. So much that sometimes I wished I had never survived Cancer if my life was going to be living with this much pain. I was on Cymbalta and had tried Neurontin and Zanaflex for my fibro, neuropathy, and migraines...but nothing gave me much relief. A friend of mine shared UltraCell Full Spectrum Hemp oil that is 100% THC free and legal in all 50 states. I had tried CBD oil in the past and it did not do a thing. I had even moved to CA so I could try smoking to see if that worked and it did not.

After being on UltraCell for 2 months, my fibro pain is virtually GONE!!!! FOr the first time in over 8 years, I can wear a bra without being in pain. I an wear shoes without my ankles swelling in pain. My chronic daily headaches have been reduced by 80% already. AND, I can sleep through the night without waking up in pain.

If you would like to learn more about UltraCell, please feel free to let me know. It has given me my life back.

I just can't imagine my doctor ever prescribing something like that- although it probably would be better than opiates.

@DoonaO, I use cbd caps or smoke cbd's. I know my pain would be less if I smoked cbd with some thc, however I don't like feeling high or paranoid, and that's what happens to me when I smoke thc.

I’m experimenting with topical CBD’s with little or no THC. I think it will take awhile to find a helpful dose. ....and thinking about trying oral under the tongue drops, especially at night when legs, and feet neuropathy seems worse. Anyone going that route?
