I am presently taking Cymbalta 60 mg for my Fibro but need to wean off of it but need to know what natural supplements would benefit my condition. Thank you,


A few years ago I was having a problem with a chronic problem with inflammation of my sciatic nerve in my right leg. I'd had the problem for 35 years but managed it with PT and stretching exercises, etc. But over a period of 4 years the inflammation couldn't be managed. I went to dozens of medical disciplines and tests until a met a Dr. who sent me to a neurologist he had known in med school. So I went in total desperation for help. He told me he knew of my problem, that it doesn't show up in any modern tests, not MRI, CT, XRAY, etc.It's a condition that only occurs to maybe 2% of the entire world population.
He would have to do exploratory surgery which would require that he (his words) "Filet my thigh". He discovered exactly as he had predicted, my sciatic nerve had attached to my periformus muscle. He detached it and repositioned the nerve. The interesting thing and why I'm telling this story is that he told me that he had never had a surgery patient without a layer of fatty tissue surrounding the outer part of the nerve that is there to act as a cushion for the nervous system and I don't have any. It made me wonder if such fatty tissue is missing in other fibromyalgia sufferers. Anyone out there ever come across any research or info on this odd phenomenon?
