Oh dear, that's an awful lot of stress for one day. :'( Yes, I get a pain in my right flank when stressed - I call it my stress pain. Had it for years non-stop when I was married to a psychopath, and never new what was going to happen from one minute to the next. Had all sorts of medical examinations but they could find nothing wrong, so concluded it was 'all in my head'. The pain stopped when I got divorced. But, still comes back when things go very wrong.

So sorry for all you're going through. xxx

My brain has only recently managed to work out that after a period of high stress, my T3 is low. I only take T3. An extra small dose of 2.5mcg gets me back to "normal".
