Stress Factor

[Guest guest]

Just wondering what you all think about how big a role stress plays in

triggering flare ups or symptoms?

My dear mother in law was diagnosed last year with MS and it seems

that throughout the past 25 years her symptoms had occured with major

life stressors (father died=blatter problems, her mother had a

stroke=eye issues, her husband had a heart attack=pain in head that

lead to her diagnosis) Anyways, my husband and I are debating whether

or not to tell her that our son was diagnosed with Autism. We have

kept it from her for fear that it will cause her stress and cause her

to have another flare up.

Thanks for any input or advice! I'm looking forward to learning lots

from this group and passing along information to my mother in law!
