I take cymbalta for the everyday pain and depression it takes the edge off.. So on a scale of 10 my pain is a 5 and you all know that is good. I'm in my second flare with Wegener's and I've learned to except. But my family doesn't care what I'm going through either. But I don't want them to. But if they want me to do something and I cant, they can't be mad.. I've made that clear... This disease is serious weather they take it that way or not. I don't want to hear about them either then.. I won't bother them. I worry about me... And I really don't worry.. I let the doctors... That's what I pay them for.
