Hi there,

i've been under a lot of stress. Both parents going through illnesses. This last week I've been dealing with my father in hospital, possible mold in house and holding it together for my teenage kids. I've never seemed to have a hard time with stress. Yesterday I noticed I was yawning alot, my limbs would get sore like a rush of lactice acid. This all made me worry more. Could this be stress related?

Hi and welcome!

It certainly sounds like you have got a lot on your plate at the moment. It is hard to be in the "Sandwich Generation" and I know how you feel.

I am so sorry to hear that your parents have been unwell, and I wish them the best of health.

Chronic muscle tension and anxiety can cause soreness. The best remedy for this is to practice coping mechanisms such as breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to reverse the stressors ill effects.

You will find links that teach these in our Resource Guide (main page, 1st post) If practiced daily, these are really effective.

Keep posting here as well. We are here to listen and support anytime.:)

Thanks for responding! I took a muscle relaxant last night, slept well and have less muscle fatigue today. I'll check out the techniques.
