I also have 'brain noises'. I don't know what else to call it. It is not all of the time and it is almost like an electrical impulse type of noise. It has the same sound as the ear ringing but it travels and I hear it throughout my whole brain. I really wish it was voices in my head, atleast I could tell them to shut up and go away!
The fibro fog comes and goes. I will look at something that I did at work last week and notice a mistake and wonder 'where was I when I did that'? It's very humiliating when I had the ability to memorize everything I needed to use at work and now I can't even remember peoples names!View Thread

I just had the same symptoms start with the Cymbalta I started taking 8 weeks ago. I had to stop taking it too. I only lost 2 weeks of work this time. Today is actually my first day back to work. My stomach was so distended I looked 10 months pregnant. I am still sore in my abdominal area but the nausea and abdominal pain has stopped.
I hope you are feeling better soon.View Thread

I have tried Savella and Cymbalta to relieve the pain symptoms. For the first couple months of the Savella it worked wonderfully! Then I started having gastro symptoms and after thousands of dollars later and ingesting nuclear medicine it was found to be the Savella causing the problems. By then I was so sick it was 10 weeks off work to recover.
After much suggestion from my pain management doctor and the unrelenting pain, I attempted the Cymbalta. For the first month it alleviated about 75% of my pain and it was great! We upped my dose to 40 mg daily and I started having the same symptoms as with the Savella. Sadly, I had to stop taking the Cymbalta.
Nothing really gets rid of the pain and when I finally take a dose of the percoset the only thing it does is take the edge off and I don't care if it hurts!View Thread


The percoset that I occasionaly use really only takes the edge off on the really bad days. You know, the days that you just sit and cry because you just can't tolerate the pain anymore.
This is my first post to this community. I have been around for several months just reading the posts and I am so very impressed wtih Dr. Pellegrino. I only live 45 minutes away from his office in North Canton, Ohio so I know where to go should my PCP fail me!
Thank you for all of the insight and information that you provide here. It helps to know that there are other people with the same symptoms and that I am not crazy!View Thread
