Hey Johanna: As a long-time caretaker myself, I can relate. I saw my pdoc today and asked her whether there is any more difficult/challenger situation to be in, than taking care of someone else. I have a fully handicapped son, and I've been doing everything for him for almost 10 years. I love this kid no end, I really do, but its taking its toll. And there's no end in sight. My son will not get better.

I have to be brutally honest here - I can do this for my son because, well, because he's my son and I adore him. I don't know how long I could do it for a parent. Hang in there and reach out for support!

Here's to a quick recovery! Love, Mo.

Jo,


Stress can definitely cause your fibro to flare, as can the hit your immune system takes just from exhaustion.
