Could ease when: You feel better? Lyrica (pregabalin) can decrease the pain associated with fibro-tried it? Sometimes treating pain before the stress helps and other times--any measure to decrease the amount of anxiety. Great that you are reaching for help. Have any way to decrease the daily stress? Yoga, meditation, warm baths, acupuncture? New osteopathic school in pikesville, KY may have clinic for osteopathic treatment.

Caregiving challenge: Being a caregiver can be very challenging. Make sure you get out of the house regularly. Take time to meet your own needs & even to pamper yourself. Share your thoughts & feelings with others who can understand & support you. Accept help when it is offered. Know when to ask for the help. Consider a local support group.
