you could start a poll... but definitely yes! i think the emotional stress and mental health decline precedes autoimmune deterioration --> which eventuates into fibro - which then is a source
of more anxiety conditions - so it makes a compounded situation that is so difficult to make any improvement in... mix that with the invisible nature of it all and i think it's one of the cruelest set of illnesses that could assail an individual - because it destroys health physically, mentally, spiritually; you lose job, income, identity, relationships, social circles, assets...
i know you know. it has just taken me over 3 years to come to terms with what is (rather than thinking about what was and could have been), and got it all together in a handy list for myself to share...!

Hello,
Were you wondering this question for Dr. Nicolson? If so, he would be available on the 6th in the Autoimmune doctor forum.

In my opinion, pain conditions definitely have a huge effect on our mental health and it's a normal part of the illness that we must learn how to manage.
