Maxime, ditto. My question exactly. Why now? However, Scott addressed this well enough for me about stages of brain growth and development. Had I really known where I'd be today, well, I was going to say I would have taken my treatment seriously. But then, it only became 'official' about 12 years ago.
So now I try and take care today.
Btw, because of pain and fatigue, I became aware of hashimoto's, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia. And, yeah, my finger joints hurt--less so on cymbalta. I'm saddened to see some of you here dealing with the same symptoms :( You, too, Maxie. Personally, my initial reaction was that of being insulted.
Scott's posts, and many other's helped me believe in the physical dimensions depression can take. Aren't we a lucky bunch of esoteric experts. (Sorry for the sarcasm; I'm sure we all had other plans.)

> Scott, I am a believer that depression can cause body pain. What I don't understand is that after 30 + years of suffering from depression, why are these body pains happening to me NOW? How do I know if they are real, or if I am just somatizing?
> Even the joints in my fingers hurt.
MDD and C-PTSD. Chronic fatigue and pain. Good response to Cymbalta.
