I have been dealing with the curse for 38 years, that about when I was diagnosed. Pushing 52 now, and I have had some ups and downs, it gets better, then it gets worse. If you have ever watched a cat chase a laser pointer light, this is what its like chasing A.S. pain.
I cant tell you it gets better, but your situation will change, the bell will ring eventually and you may get some rest until life rings the bell to fight another round.
