Do you know someone who has any of these symptoms?

Any persistent or intermittent combination of the above can be a sign of

CHRONIC STRESS!

"Stress can ruin people’s lives much more than they may think. According to the research conducted at Duke University (USA), chronic stress damages the DNA, which in its turn can cause a whole bunch of diseases, including cancer. Stress is known to cause the release of the hormone adrenaline, which influences a body, affecting everything possible, from the neural responses to the level of metabolism.

...Stress suppresses the immune system, resulting in disability to cope with the environmental hazards such as viruses, infections, atypical cells, etc. According to many scientists it is chronic stress that causes such diseases as high blood pressure, constipation, digestive disorders, coronary thrombosis, asthma, migraine, hay fever and other allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, menstrual complications, hyperthyroidism, diabetes and skin diseases." ... excerpt from an article in www.elmilo.com.

Stress sufferers need help and they need it now!
