Stress & MS symptoms resources

[Sailorsong]

Yesterday when I went to the VA I got very stressed out and soon found that I was developing TN pain on the left side of my face. once I got home and slept for about 15 hours the TN stopped. This was purely stress from my PTSD symptoms. I know that stress can aggravate MS symptoms, but I'm looking for research or other documentation of this fact to present to the VA so that they will treat the effects of this stress as being service connected. If anyone knows of any sites that have this information please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks! I found another one by the NIH that dealt with exacerbation in general.
