No boys?  That is so funny to tell a teenager.  I hope you didn't listen to him too much and you enjoyed all the normal high school stuff, including relationships.

For the stress from work, we might brainstorm ideas with you but would first need to know what type of work you are doing?  If it is physical, where you have to be on your feet for long periods of time, you might need to take a different approach than if you work at a desk job in cubicle with lots of irritating coworkers and nagging bosses.  

Stress is not always such a bad thing for our MS - our immune system needs a bit of stress to thrive, but too much stress can be a bad thing - finding the right balance is key.
