Yup, stress gets me also. My balance gets shot and vision/scanning go downhill too.

I have found the two worst things for me are stress and heat. My worst ever flare came after my Moms sudden death. BIG stress !!!Some stress cannot be avoided though :-(

hi stress is a killer, its strange that you say about back pain. I guess in hineside I remember getting a strange pain up my spine, my consultant ignored that.

I think what you said is very encouraging about the body trying to repair itself. I didn´t know the body did that.
