Welcome fellow sufferer. I have had it for years though lately it has gotten better so there is hope. Mine first set in January 13, 1984 when I lost my job and was unable to find employment until January 13, 1986. For years I would have occasional bouts of it at certain times of the year lasting about a week or two then clear up as if I never had it. Do you think Susan would allow use to form a support group for this difficult condition?
