Do you think this will help my situation?

Q. What to do as this is interfering with my profession and my family? My sister is spinster and she keeps complaining of feeling dizzy when she wakes up and invariably says that she has constant headaches. Almost every day she feels so stiff that we have to help her out of bed. I do not know whether she feels helpless as she keeps saying that she feels anxious. Please tell me what to do as this is interfering with my profession and my family and my wife suspects her to be having fibromyalgia.

A. well....she is your sister. i understand that it is probably bothering but if you won't help her, who will?
i think the first stage is tom properly diagnose it. get a good Dr. and if it's really Fibromyalgia you can go on to the next stage - treating it right. Fibromyalgia may not have a cure but it sure has a treatment. with a treatment it might be easier on you to help her.
