Does anyone else start losing their voice when they're stressed out or not feeling good?

I've noticed that whenever I feel stressed, I start losing my voice. It starts breaking and talking starts to take so much energy, I have to really push the words out. Does anyone else experience this?

In hindsight I realise I had a flare a couple of years ago where talking became weirdly difficult, on and off. Kind of felt like my tongue was a bit slow and thick. MS wasn’t on my radar back then, but I realise now that that was connected. Being stressed and tired often makes symptoms pop up temporarily, even between flares. I guess that could be the case for you?
