Stress and MS symptoms

I’ve been diagnosed with ME - 3 years ago. But I wonder if it’s actually MS. I’ve got many and quite severe symptoms but I definitely have an MS hug. It was the first sign. I wanted to know about stress and MS. Currently I’m limiting the number of potentially stressful events - as in “pacing”. But if I can’t and there are many events or if one is particularly stressful, it causes a flare up of my symptoms. Makes me ill for quite a long time. The doctors are saying it’s Post Exertional Malaise - as in ME. But since I think I may actually have MS, I wanted to know if this sort of response to stress is typical of MS.

Hi Jan Hass

I think the response is typical of stress. It seems to worsen most conditions.
