Sorry for the stress you're experiencing, Punk. Just the fact that those you love are hurting can cause stress to you whether you really feel it is or not. Really, any circumstance or situation away from what is normal for you can cause stress and your MS symptoms to flare up.

Just try and get as much rest as you can and don't overdo it. Being tired and stressed at the same time isn't a good combination for those of us with MS.

I'm sorry about the death in your family and hope you feel better soon.

I had some stress AND allergies this week. So, my right eye has been a little wonky this week from some of the stress. But then when I started taking the allergy medication, my eye started to feel really bad the last day or two.

Apparently my allergy medication (Singulair) can cause extremely dry eyes. So, I'm putting eye drops in my eye every few hours and also sucking down glasses of water to see if I can re-hydrate my eye and apparently the rest of my body. (Singulair really really dried me out)

Hopefully your stress lets up and you can relax and have all the MS weirdness back off for a bit.

So sorry Punk ((HUGS))

Do you have something like Xanax to take? If I'm having extra stress I take it because I don't realize how stressed I am until I'm having symptoms.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Punk, honey, I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one and for your extra stress at this time.

Stress is my main trigger....I think it may even be the cause of my MS.. So I am now on an AD for life..

I hope this passes for you without throwing you into a full blown attack..

I just had a week similar to your's so I have a darn good idea what you've been going through.

I have no words of wisdom to tell you though...... I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you.
