Summary
Switched from 2.5 years of Cymbalta to Lyrica, titrating one up while tapering the other down, and started strain counterstrain therapy (3 of a planned ~6 sessions done). Describes "experiencing a turnaround" with pain and fatigue, substantial enough to help care for her daughter again, but is uncertain it will last, writing she is "praying I will stay at my current pain level or better."
