Oh Gina
((hug))
=(
I would definately call that stress, and I think that level of stress could induce illness in the strongest person in the world.
My biggest concern at the moment is work deadlines. I'm sure I'd collapse under the pressure you are under.

Gina, bless your heart! Try to keep your head up. I know it is so hard. My husband and I were on the verge of divorce about 2 months ago, I was on a new med (Topamax) which by the way was the whole cause of my mood swings. I had several seizures during this time caused by stress. I'm now on Prozac and an anti-anxiety medicine. I will be thinking about you. I wish I could help you. (((HUGS)))

I believe stress plays an important role w/ seizures. every time we are getting ready to go, or are on vacation, we have a seizure.
