stress is not good for us

[Michael Bell]

Hi Alysia, sorry to hear about the stress in your life. I try not to let stress get to me now, and so far I am doing ok with it. I do not know what to tell you,
as it is all personal as is how we learn to deal with it. As a stuborn, cantancarus old sod I try to put stress on others rather than suffer myself. I hope you find a way to reduce or deal with the stress soon and send you a big hug.
Mike

Stress is not good for us. Isn’t is ?
I don’t know if I am going to share the "content" of my stress.
I just wanted to cry a bit here and to tell how much I am tired...
And sick of that stress. Literally. Chills and pains in the back and aching all over and it looks like prob another uti. So I took on my own the antibiotics that I have for it to kick it fast.
I know what makes me sick this time.
Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here. I love you all
this can be a thread for all of us to "discharge" our tears and other feelings and ways of handling our stresss.....
thanks again.

So sorry! How are you feeling today? This forum is a great place to vent out stresses. Sometimes I think we can be in denial of the stressors in our lives. ITA 100% with LisaT's posts. Identifying negative people/energy is first step to ridding it from our lives.
I read an article yesterday at the library about link to antibiotics in chicken and recurring UTI's. With all your researching skills (impressive ) I figure you may have encountered the latest research on this subject.

We also need to be aware that our condition causes quite a bit of stress. Knowing about it causes stress. My Psychiatrist told me the other day that inflammation can cause quite a bit of depression as well and then we know that the drugs we are on don't help either. Hence we are far more vulnerable to stress already so added to that external stress and we need to learn to be very kind to ourselves and protect ourselves or everything will compound
