So.....I know it's only been a week. But this Lyrica/Cymbalta combo has me feeling like crap! I have read enough to know that this can happen. Dizzy, nauseous, spacey, headache, TIRED.

I hope I'm not being premature as I still have 1 day left on 5mg of steroids but I am in much better shape pain wise than the last time I ended my 1 month stint on steroids. Obviously…
Im 26 and when I was 20 I started getting very bad back pain and I had a few herniated discs. When I was having an injection procedure done the surgeon noticed I had some inflammation on the sacroiliac joint, so I was referred to a rheumatologist. I had various scans and they showed I had possible sacroilitis. I was…
