I still wonder what the survey shows, but have a question
as to how you measure STRESS, and if you had stress or not and if it
<does>
effect the possibility of getting TM, do low levels count?

Bob of Houston:

That is a good question just how does one measure stress. Fact in matter
is you can not. Stress is handled differently by different people. Some
people crave stress it motivates them others use it a an excuse to go on
disability. The latter being one of the fastest growing segments of the
med profession. Whole clinics have opened to people claiming stress and
wishing to go on disability claiming stress.
So as to stress affecting your health? This I believe can be true but is
it a quantifying reason for an attack of tm? Or just one coincidence out
of many?

And as to questions: Has anyone one here {TM} ever not been inoculated
or contracted {exposed} to Chicken Pox or the German Measles?
