Stress is definitely a factor. How I've coped with the horrible news cycle by limiting my exposure -AND picking one topic and turning my frustration into anger. For example, I'm writing "get out the vote" letters this year. It's relaxing and I'm doing something really good for the world. Also gardening and walking the neighborhood kids to school!

Yes, I live in a swing state and have worked the polls the last few years. I had to avoid any work last year when I developed PMR. But I feel I got my life back with prednisone. However, I am now tapering and the last couple of election days have been rough at the end of the 14 hour day. I know I could not be a manager again, but I plan to work the polls this November even if I have to up my prednisone. I am also doing letters to the editor and getting out the vote activities.

I agree keeping up with the news can be stressful and should be limited if it upsets you. Maybe that's why there is so much PMR going around!
