Stress can trigger many tiny flares, or hiccups in this disease. STarting a new injectable drug IS stressful. Newly diagnosed IS stressful. Learning how to surf in the MS world IS stressful. Finding your balance and place in this stream IS stressful.

now, that being said, alot of MDs will blame stress for your symptoms and give you the "calm down" speach. You have been on the steroids and given a new DMD (disease modifying drug) and are starting to adjust. As you learn this disease, you will learn your body and its new normal.

This disease is like a fingerprint, no two of us have the same run. What stresses you may make me yawn, and what triggers me into a full blown relapse may make you scratch your head.

Clear as mud? I hope you feel better soon.
