There are so many people who have written in about the possibility of stress being a cause of their TM, and I can add my own case to that list as well. I had been in the process of changing positions and locations at work, same boss, although she got a very large promotion. Things were very stressful. There was a lot that I needed to learn and I also had to help her with so much more of her duties that were changing. It was very exciting, yet grueling. Actually, after the first day of the new job I went home, later went to bed, rolled over to kiss my husband good-night, and the pain in my back started. Within 15 minutes, I couldn't stand. Paralyzed from the waist down at that time, yet walking wounded today. However, we must keep in mind that it is as important, if not more important, to remember how our bodies react to stress once we have TM. From reading emails for 8 years now, I don't ever remember reading one message stating that they are not affected at all by stress. It can really make big problems for us. It certainly weakens me. Hugs to all, Barbara A
