I take xanax.. and lots of it. My Dr. gives me unlimited quanities.. but not allowed to exceed 6 mg a day lol. to me..that's unlimited.

Seriously...stress is bad. Stress to the body or the mind i've noticed is bad for my ms. I can directly relate all of my bad flair ups to either.. a. a bad illness, b. an ex boyfriend (note they are all ex's.) or c. a surgery.

I found out stress is real bad for ms. My insurance company for my car cancelled me due to my ms. Stupid mailboxes..they shouldn't make them so "see through". Anyway, them canceling me made my tongue go numb and my swallowing go out. I also went mute. Recovering some back this time thank goodness.

I've always been high strung, and nervous anyway. The littlest thing has always set me off, and the past few years for me have been an action horror thriller, drama..you name it for me.. thus my progression has gone into fast forward. I'd say avoid stress at all costs. From my experience it is directly related to flair ups.
