Hi Susie,
In my own experience, but I don't have PPP, the reaction to stress is not detectable.
Of course this might be due to my medication, but I cannot remember it from before either. In that time stress did have influence but slowly.
What seemed apparent was that there was a little predictability in my AP regarding the weather. E.g. while the weather was still beautiful my fingers and feet might become painful, and a few days later the weather then changed into a more rainy style.
Also being in warm dry environments, like the south of France (but not the seaside), really enlightened the pain then.
Avoiding stress is always better, but not always possible.
