Some lucky few go into complete remission. However, if I could give one piece of advice, it is this. Take what it is happening to you seriously. Then do whatever it takes to help with the pain. Sometimes you have to keep going back to the Doctor, sometimes you have to do some reading and try different things like messages and saunas or resting more or exercising gently.
Many people find exercising gently and getting more rest makes a good beginning.
Stress often aggravates the disease and anything you can do to cut back on stress often helps. Lastly, I would like to invite you to join RISG's listerv. The listserv was set up by Rick several years ago and there are almost 450 persons who participate. I have learned greatly from their experiences. Not everyone experiences the same thing and your disease will travel a different course from everyone elses'.
