I found out yesterday that I have shingles, I was in pain all day before I went to the doctor because I was stressed and worried about what was wrong with me because I thought it might be a bad spider bite. Being stressed will cause a person that has the shingles virus to feel pain in the area that they are being affected, my thigh gets twinges of pain today when stressful things happened. So I have to try and be very calm, and avoid stress whenever I can for the next week until the shingles go away, I am hoping it will be easy, but life can throw curveballs.....so have you ever had to avoid stress because of a medical condition?

I hear you! My stress literally has a direct effect on my body. Aside from your regular mental and physical fatigue, there are also symptoms that arise due to stress. Whenever I'm stressed a get a sort of allergic reaction called emphysema on my hands, and they start to itch whenever I'm really cramming heavily for an exam. I finally found medicine for those, thankfully, so whenever they itch I just put on a steroid cream. Not only that, but I start to get nosebleeds if I experience too much heat and allergic inflamations on my lips if I'm way too stressed.

Avoiding stress is good. Too much stress can be too much. It is good to do what is good for you. To accomplish tasks that will make you proud of yourself. It is good to be calm.
I think avoiding stress is really good. But a little is good. If you stress yourself a little bit then you will do things. Get things accomplished. And you will push yourself.
Stress is when something isn't going as planned. This is when you need to calm down. And do what you love to do. Like activities, exercising.
