I would guess so. How are they being treated, and how was it working before this crisis?

I had a DISASTROUS endo experience which has made me somewhat wary of the state of the specialty

Of course, this is a serious problem and doctors are not helping. Talk about stress.
- ME: My body is under some kind of incredible stress!
- DR: Well, you got to lower that stress.
- ME: I know!
My hidden stress turned out to be from a rare genetic disorder which I am now managing by myself. Since current medicine is ALSO less than helpful with it, from the diagnosis to the managing. But I am proof it can be done.
Okay, here's a fine article.

That gets directly at the problem and offers some things to try, including frequent small meals and why they work, and the role of adaptogen herbs.
Sounds to me that dealing with this stress IS your stress, so just knowing what to do should help a lot with that. If you are on medication, you need to work with your doctor, and if you can't, you need a new one for this issue, perhaps?
When our bodies over-react under these circumstances, something is out of balance, and creating a cascade effect where so much more doesn't work right, either. Toy helicopters crash 10 out of 10 when you give the controls to a toddler who sends all the wrong signals.
