Stress does cause flares...I'm pretty sure that's what initiated my first flare. My inability to mourn my mother's death over a period of time along with some other influential causes is what set me off. I don't recommend WG for getting over emotional trauma, but WG does thrive on it. I also take Lexapro (very good and effective for panic/anxiety) and it doesn't interfere with my life and I get along fine. Best to you.
