I am brand new to this site. A friend called me today to tell me about it. I do not have MS but have had lupus for over 9 years. Stress can flare most of these autoimmune diseases up. I have been writing a blog since last fall about living with chronic illnesses such as lupus and MS. You might find it interesting. The recent post was actually on quilting.
