Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 : Although it's never been proven, I do believe that yes, there is a link between stress and RA. This subject came up on this group not that long ago. People were saying how their RA first manifested after something traumatic or stressful happened in their lives. I know that was definitely true in my case. I wouldn't say that stress brings RA on, but it definitely brings it out. -- Dodge From acquaintances we conceal our real selves.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 , most definetly a relationship. my doctor said it was probably the trigger that started my RA. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 , I really don't know what the link is but I truly feel there is one. I know stress will cause predestined conditions to surface. Stress kills. My personal calmer is birds, I have many feeders in my yard. I sit on my porch and watch them and listen to them sing. They lift my heart. I know the strength that has seen you through so much is still there. I pray that you will overcome this stress very soon. I truly hope that this is a much better day for you.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 , Sorry about your recent diagnosis of RA. Just knowing that is SO stressful. I do know, stressing just seems to aggrivate it. You mention everything, and write it down if you need to. I write things down, because I forget so many things anymore,(Fibro Fog.) You might need something to calm your nerves to, do you have anxiety? I know my daughter has anxiety, and she worries about everything. Just tell your doc. There is not a lot you can do about RA, except try to deal with it. Try to talk to the doc about the RA meds. When you can, just take a nap, just rest your body, it needs it. I use to stress big time, but now I'm real laid back, take my meds, and just take care of myself. Good luck, Tawny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 ((())) - I'm so sorry to hear you are under so much stress. In my experience, stress does make my RA and FMS flare up. I try so hard to keep things calm and peaceful, but sometimes stress can't be avoided and I surely do feel the pain. I would mention it to your Rheumy or your PC - perhaps they could give you something to help with the stress. Take care and deep breaths..........Doreen > > Please,help me out : recently , I have been under a lot of stress and > then the diagnosis for RA was made...should I mention that tomorrow? > I am a very strong person & I have managed to overcome many > obstacles....but is there a relationship between stress & RA? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
