All that pent-up stress could be making you feel pretty crappy, according to a new study in the International Journal of General Medicine.

Researchers from the University of Gothenburg found that chronic stress seems to take an especially hard toll on the health of 40-to-60-year-old women. The most common stress-related health complaints included aches and muscle/joint pain (reported by 40 percent of the women), headaches and migraines (reported by 28 percent of the women) and gastrointestinal issues (reported by about 28 percent of the women). However, researchers did not find links between perceived stress and early death.

Stress makes everything worse. I keep saying that having celiac and MC may not kill me outright but it could aggravate me to death.

It was during a stressful time in my life three years ago that I was diagnosed with LC. Before that I was able to eat whatever I wanted to and was not a person to get tummy aches. Stress is a definite health killer. Glad to hear stress won't necessarily hasten me to an early death.

I believe that stress started (maybe continued??) me on the path to MC. A good friend was dying and a week later symptoms started.
