Thank you, Notan

[Guest guest]

Hi, Notan  and Fellow Achalasians,

               Thank you for responding to my recent problem.  And now I'm

getting

little bouts of chest pains, too.  I think it's spasms.  The odd thing in the

mix

is that about two 1/2 months ago, I decided to stop taking Cymbalta.  I've been

on it for some time and I wanted to just jettison the stuff.  I went off it

gradually,

had some dipping down emtionally, which I expected, and now I'm off it

completely.  The only problem is that the Cymbalta was actually good for a

lot of the nerve pain I've got in my legs.  (I've had pain in both legs all my

life,

mostly from sporting accidents, had a horse roll on me back and forth for

20 minutes, hit in the legs during field hockey and other sports, and I was

a runner, too.)  I'm hoping I'll be able to get to a plateau with this, by

sweating

it out.

               Does Cymbalta calm down Achalasia problems at all?  I've been

trying to figure out as if there is any connection.  Interesting.  Oh, my

neurologist put me on Neurontin for three years and I did begin to notice

that a lot of the pains were calming down.  Unfortunately, it also gave me

narcolepsy, so I'm off that, too.

               Just mainly interested in the connections between Achalasia

and neurological pains.  You've put up some great articles so I'll go check

them out again.

                 All best, Deborah
