Brief Answer: Stress management. Detailed Answer: Dear Ma'm, high CRP is a very nonspecific test, it only suggests some underlying inflammatory reaction. so that can be due to fibromyalgia. the medicines prescribed for the same to you will put you to sleep and make you feel a little low on sexual drive. you have not mentioned are you taking something for PCOD? wait for fibromyalgia to settle, meanwhile work upon yoga, meditation, regular physical exercise and stamina building. Regards!

Brief Answer: Need to take the medicines. Detailed Answer: Dear Ma'm, Hi! you must take your treatment as advised. For PCOD you must start metformin if you are symptomatic. If you are over sleepy and drowsy you can ask your doctor to reduce the dose. Regards!
