Hi, Unfortunately stress definitely affects my autoimmune diseases etc...
I also have an anxiety disorder!
I have Esophageal Lichen Planus, Oral Lichen Planus and tissue Lichen Planus.
In addition, I have fibromyalgia also. I contracted it 20yrs. ago after a head on collision I was in.
At that time, most doctor's didn't believe in fibromyalgia. It was difficult, to say the least!
Please know, it is possible for your fibromyalgia to get better. Mine has, even though I have a couple of autoimmune diseases.
My fibromyalgia improved after seeing an excellent Endocrinologist. I learned I had Hypothyroidism and Hadshimoto's Thyroiditis.
I was prescribed thyroid stimulation medication.
My fibromyalgia began to improve somewhat.
I feel for you ❤️

How do you treat your Esophageal LichEn Planus, Oral Lichen Planus? What is tissue lichen Planus(what areas)? I have esophageal, oral, skin, and last severe flare up it attacked all mucus membranes of my body. At that time I had also developed psoriasis (another autoimmune disease), which I have never had before. Don’t know if that was triggered by the lichen planus or the strong medications I was on for the LP. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I have had FM since 1982, was diagnosed with the original name fibrositis, in 1990. I have never had relief from it because I am allergic to all the drugs (which work on the brain). I see a rheumatologist but have never been referred to an endocrinologist. I will ask my doctor. Thank you for the information.
