I take cymbalta, it helps me get out of bed in the morning, without pain! I can't take Lyrica or anything like it, at the lowest dosage I am so dizzy I can't stand up. Like others, I have a problem with "exercise" and I'm including here, a long day of shopping, spurts of house cleaning (I try to do a little every day so that I can avoid "Spring" cleaning). Humidity seems to make it worse (and here I am living on the Gulf coast)! Cooler Florida weather is perfect but really cold is a killer. I too am going to try the vitamins! At this point, nothing can hurt!
I do have a spot that itches all the time. It is the inside of my shoulder blade in the back. Just where I can't reach. Thanks for bringing this up. I was worried that maybe it was cancer or something and I couldn't see it or reach it without a back scratcher. I also have it on my left hand close to the thumb. I never associated itching with the disease.
