Hi I am new to the SM world. I have been diagnosed with it for 2 months now and it has been terrible... As you all know. Diet and exercise have not helped. Less stress seems to have helped... I took my family to the beach and completely unplugged from work for several days and I had several good days in a row. Does stress contribute to this disease? Has anyone had to take time off from work for this? I just need to know how to make myself stop hurting without taking any pain meds.

Prednisone for 2 months has not helped. I'm 40 mg a day. Please any insight would be amazing! Thank you!
