Hello! I strongly agree with question 1 and 2. stress is what brings out my symptoms ten fold. I do much better on weekends and holidays, sleep better too. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and am still working in the secretarial field in Canada. My boss found out about my illness when I couldn't take minutes anymore or use the mouse fast enough. Talk about stress!! I find exercises and stretches very helpfull and also walking. My family wants me to stop working and enjoy life as they say.
