Hi all,
New to this & diagnosed last year Nov, started Tecfidera this year.
Am recently going through a really rough time in my life and i feel the stress is affecting my MS.
Is anyone familiar with stress related MS symptoms? What do you experience?
I’m also not getting enough sleep and this is also taking its toll.
I’m worried I’m making it worse but cant seem to relax or stay calm.
None of this is your fault. You probably aren’t making yourself more ill than you would otherwise be by stressing about it, but even if you were, that wouldn’t be your fault either. It is one of life’s little ironies that the most surefire way of getting a rotten night’s sleep is to fret about not sleeping. You’re going through a tough time. Try not to make yourself feel worse with self-blame. None of this is your fault.
