Welcome @jod12, Thank you for sharing your experience with BFS. I think you are right about stress making it worse and causing the symptoms. Here's some information I found that talks about the stress...
"Symptoms of BFS also appear to be a cause of stress and anxiety for people who have the condition. It is unclear if this stress and anxiety make symptoms worse, though many people report that it does. If stress does exacerbate the symptoms, then some people could find themselves in a cycle of BFS symptoms and anxiety." --- https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320388#symptoms
The article also mentions that meditation, yoga and listening to calming music may help reduce the stress or anxiety along with a few other tips. You mentioned being sick a lot and that is not helping. Have you seen a doctor about what may be causing you to be sick?
