Yes, absolutely. Stress is an influencing factor that can cause flare ups. I used to thrive off of stress, so when this came into my life I had a real adjustment. I cannot take the smallest amount. I have fallen due to coordination issues during stress induced times and get weak fast. It usually take me a day or two to recoup if I push myself, which I rarely do because it really is not worth risking my health for some fleeting objective.

The day after Christmas I was exhausted and just laid around all day...no energy whatsoever. Also, I am on 40mg of Prednisone and I am starting to get the moon face look. Is there something that can be done about this?
Appreciate all,
