Does anyone know of a doctor who indicated their SFN symptoms were a function of stress? Is stress an actual component of pain levels or is just doctor BS?

Oh my, yes, it heightens, provokes and intensifies pain. Proven fact, especially nerve pain. I speak from my personal experience.

@jager5210, Good morning. That is a good question. I am scheduled to see two of my medical providers today and tomorrow. I will ask them that question.

We do know that stress exacerbates many medical conditions. It was suggested that I review my stressors. I eliminated two big ones and replaced them with mindful meditation, daily yoga practice, and my mentor activities.

Can you identify stressors in your life? What might they be and can you modify or eliminate them?

Have some joy today. Chris

I have not experienced a connection that I am aware of nor has my neuro mentioned any connection. I do know that stress can have a negative influence on many conditions so maybe it depends on the individual.
