Pfrog, stress is a major trigger for a flare to me. Doesn't matter if it's good stress or bad, still sets off a flare.
This is first week of classes here. I'm based at a junior high. Can't count the number of sixth graders I've come across lost and close to tears. I help them s oh rt out where they are going and how to get there. Also assure them that most of the other sixth graders are feeling the same way. Like you I tell them they'll get the hang of it soon.
