possible fibro, prescribed cymbalta

hi all. so i’ve had horrible pain since i was a very small child (https://www.reddit.com/r/ChronicPain/s/LqLjwgkeUw). i used to wake up screaming in the middle of the night as early as probably 3 or 4 because my legs were burning in pain. i have back, leg, back of rib, and arm pain almost every single day in some regard or another. i’ve ignored it for years but now at 21 i decided 2026 was the year for trying to fix my pain. nerve problems sorta run in my family, my dad has arthritis, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease and lots of other family members suffer from sciatica for one reason or another. i figured maybe i had arthritis or something as well, but kaiser did an “unremarkable” mri on me in 2025 and said they found nothing. i was in no pain at the time of the mri. my current doctor says she sees a small amount of fluid in my L4 (?) region of the spine but she doesn’t know if that’s exactly what’s causing the pain. after lots of discussion, she’s saying it’s possibly fibro, but i don’t have a lot of tender points on the body for diagnosis. she prescribed me 20mg cymbalta/duloxetine and i was very excited to try it at first but i’ve become extremely scared and anxious about it.
i know they say don’t read up on your medication, but i couldn’t help it really. it seems everybody has complaints about this med and calls it absolutely horrible, especially withdrawals. i have pretty bad ocd, so i was thinking this could possibly be a good two birds one stone scenario, but ive grown increasingly scared since. i know meds are different for everybody, but i cant shake the feeling of anxiety. especially people saying suicidal thoughts get worse or start out of nowhere. additionally, i have two concerts planned for the 11th and 20th of this month and im so scared that this medicine could make me sick and not allow me to go to them.
i’m about to start a one month medical leave off of work to try out meds and also get some other things figured out, but i am really scared and don’t know where to go from here. today is thursday, and i told myself i would start on monday.
any and all words are welcome and appreciated, i hope to hear from a lot of you. :/

i’m currently listening to henry rollins on the mohr stories podcast from 2014 (reuploaded to spotify in may) and mohr reads aloud, what i would describe as, a poem from henry about love, and i just really liked it! so, i thought id share, even though most of you probably have heard it before,, lol :)

[TOMT] youtube videos showcasing daily life with nonverbal autistic man

SUPER NICHE! super weird lol but hello! this is a stretch, but i was wondering if anybody would be familiar with a series of videos on yt from probably 10 years ago at this point that showcased the life of an autistic guy who would communicate with the ipad and it would just be regular stuff like waking up and going to the store, things like that. i remember he specifically liked some sort of store or fast food place and would ask to go there a lot but besides those small details i can’t remember too much! i know this is probably impossible for anybody to find but i thought eh might as well try lol. thank you in advance!

henry cds i found at amoeba hollywood !!

FANATICS!! huge win for me!
while i was in hollywood to see HUM at slide away fest, i made the obvious decision to stop into amoeba and i found some amazing stuff! i was so surprised to see a packed rollins section, and i may or may not have taken pretty much every cd in the row.. i had to! i was so thrilled and still am. apparently there was another section for his spoken word stuff too, however i couldn’t find it and wanted to line up for the show. in any case, this was a goldmine. :)

if you saw somebody with blue hair violently crying during i hate it too on 5/29 it was me lol

i had an amazing time at slide away, and i’m still so honored that i got to go, however it was a day full of rollercoaster emotions. pretty bad day for anxiety and so i didn’t eat much and by the time nothing was done i was so so so nauseous i thought i was going to have to throw up and leave the show i had been waiting months for. so i left my spot at barricade to go stand by a trashcan 💔 thankfully, somehow, my body pulled through and i am so happy they played i hate it too as the encore, since it’s my favorite song. i won’t post the video of me in tears LOL but im just so glad i can to see and experience this with my own eyes and ears. also, shoutout to everyone who was throwing that shoe all night 😭
