This is something that I have given some thought to, having a lot of pressure within a job / career / looking for work and meeting the demands of the DWP / Uni Cred is bound to have a negative and detrimental effect on some people. Could it be the cause of MS though?... Possibly, but then again there are numerous other factors such as Biology / Genetics etc. to take in to account. But personally speaking I do think that Stress and Pressure does play a big role.
Absolutely true. My job is stressful. It's definitely making my cognitive issues worse (confirmed by my neuro actually, on Monday). Right now I'm sitting here and my face is twitching as more & more emails are coming in. But, what to do? I have a mortgage, a 16-year old son. It's just not feasible right now to do anything else. In a year though, definitely. Once the kid is off to college.
