Can relate to what Curewisher is saying here.

I still think it would be nice to hear from other, especially "chronic" patients. How they are coping and progressing here and now and whether and how their health improved. This would be very encouraging for those patients whose cases aren't resolved relatively quickly with few remedies and for whom treatment may take many months (or dare I say years?). For them it can be more of a journey and at each turn in the road there may be friends and family advising that long enough has been spent on this avenue of treatment.

Anyone prepared to share details of their own long journey? - anonymously is fine. It really would help.
