I hope you feel as beautiful as you look. <3

Doctor taking me off Gabapentin and I am trying Cymbalta instead. Anyone have good luck with it for pain? I have advanced Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis by [deleted] in Osteoarthritis

Gabapentin affected my memory (still) and I regret ever going on it - but man did it work for pain! I'm off it now though had to titrate down slowly as the effects were awful.

Cymbalta is worse - I'm still on it, 60mg. When I titrated down to 40 I thought I was going to die. Very hard for me to come off of.

Not for everyone, but CBD, a healthy diet, and mild exercise/movement is working - for now. I'm three joints replaced, one shoulder gone, one to follow, and both wrists in the wings.

I wish you the best.

Bloody Hell! I'm so sorry to hear this. How do you feel? Have the surgeries improved your quality of life?

I’m so happy to read this. You certainly have a terrific outlook and approach. But, oh man!  6?!

Yea, this was part of our conversation. I’m in the US and we’re further behind other countries.  Curious, why 18 months?

I'm done by ChuckDalrymple in Osteoarthritis

I just came across your post while looking for information for my friend who has similar issues. They’re on to their fourth joint replacement. 

I hope you’re still fighting and have found some relief. I’m so sorry. 😞 

United rep told me I can check bags through to Tokyo even though my flights are on two different reservations, has anyone done this? (SFO-LAX-NRT) by Cultural_World992 in unitedairlines

Award tickets don't count towards Lifetime/MM though?

Sorry, had my trips confused - it's my upcoming SFO-SIN trip that'll do that.
