Indirectly, maybe: The timing suggests a connection, as your asking implies. Could the stones have physically affected your function in some way? It's unlikely, but physical problems ought always be ruled out first. However, one ought never underestimate the psychological effect of illnesses. If you check out fine, consider asking your md for a referral to someone who can help you sort out your personal reactions.
