Well, here we are on day 4 of our new med regimen. So far, so good. Cymbalta once a day, Flexeril (and as needed, Sonata) each night and the pain is awesomely better. Where last week my days were usually 5/6 on a pain scale with occasional 10's, this week I'm at a 3 on the pain scale with occasional 6's when my sciatica acts up. Much better! I don't want to overdue it, so I'm taking it easy. The first couple of days on Cymbalta I was SO sleepy, but it's getting much better. I even made it through the day yesterday without crashing for a nap.
So - so far, so good. But today, a weird side effect. My coffee doesn't taste right and I have a metallic taste in my mouth. The only other time I've had that happen was when I was pregnant - and OMG that better not be the case!!! If it is, don't expect to see anymore entries in here because I'll have driven over a cliff...lol
