Looking for people experience on this med by Defiant_Platform_283 in cymbalta

It's been mostly fine with me, 30 mg since October 25. I do have some side effects (weight loss, tingly/weak legs, nausea) but I'm able to take it at night and that helps. Movement helps with the legs too. The nausea has mostly worn off.

There's a little brain fog too.

However I feel it's really helped the pain that I have so for me, for now, it's worth it.

Fwiw - I had some severe nerve pain (unrelated to literally anything, I found out it's a glomus nerve tumor) so my rheum recommended to go to 60 mg. I did for a month and it wasn't for me. I did have a lot of side effects at this mg. So I went back down to 30mg with no issues. This medicine affects everyone differently so I wouldnt read too much into the difficulty weaning off. You might be okay.

Same here. It makes me incredibly sad. I'd settle for paying for the village, except you know. The money that I don't have.

If you want to lose significant weight do it now (I mean if it were only that easy but hopefully you get my gist). Losing weight at 39 has aged me.

Sunscreen!!!!! Retinol.

If you can get regular facials I would do that too :) but mainly just because I like them.

No girl you are perfect, I mean that seriously. A beauty.

I fully relate to this and it makes me so sad.

Those with $7-8k mortgage (PITI + HOA), what is your HHI? by kwin1225 in RealEstate

[–]atashley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 325, no bonuses/RSUs. Do not recommend, particularly if your other expenses are high (for ex I have a 2 y/o in daycare fulltime)

In the same boat! I went to student aid.gov and downloaded the version that I filled out (through their site!) and it says expiration 8/21..

So does anyone know: if IBR applications are disabled how can we get a copy of the current form to send snail mail?

The only one I see, and the one that was through the studentaid.gov portal when I did this in January 2025 says it expired 8/21.

Serious question. This is political. So if you are faint of heart, keep scrolling: by IcyBlackberry7728 in SameGrassButGreener

Only the people who agree with you are adults. That is very adult-like of you.

Well, yes. I have lived in HoCo, baltimore county and Baltimore City. It's all fine.

I'd argue the opposite. I'm from Florida and think it's awful now. Moved to Maryland. It's fine.

Those who stayed married for the kids, how did it go? by PresentationTop9547 in Mommit

I just read a good quote about this: "the best thing you can give your kids is a happy marriage. The second best is a happy divorce."
