Omg yes! I could’ve started this thread! As I’m nearing my later 40’s, I’m beginning to think about all those self-help books out there...like for ppl in their 40’s w/ aging parents, etc. I’ve been really going thru it for the past cpl of yrs w/ my mother’s illness, on top of my past cancer worries, Fibro & the daily on-slaught of chronic pain. Whew. Prayers going out to all humans. lol. Life is rough! And it’s only getting worse! My poor husband, an only child, 2 even more elderly parents, & my MIL is severely ill w/ schizophrenia. She doesn’t even know her own grandkids! And we have to finally figure out where to place her & how to get her out of her home. We need STRENGTH to get thru this storm.
I was on lexapro and seroquel for about a year but didn’t really help my anxiety so come off it slowly. Was horrible coming off so much pain so too scared to try anything else. I do have Valium but I try not to take them too much. I had all blood done and perfectly healthy. I am on a multi vitamin plus vitamin d. I recently found out I have a Uterine polyps which they believe has been the cause of my pelvic and leg pain. Going to try a supplement called serrapeptase first but might have it get removed. Once again been told these things just happen when you get old. Getting old is so much fun
