I think many of us can point to an "incident" that triggered onset of symptoms of the underlying condition. Many times it's surgery or the flu, or even emotional trauma. I onset after an unusually virulent flu, and waited for years for "these strange flu symptoms to reverse" until diagnosis 5 years later. There is a child/fantasy belief still in me that if I can only catch the right "opposite" flu, it will all get better. Still waiting..... Interesting, I have read research that since a virus is one of the few things that can cross the blood brain barrier, some have considered piggy-backing neurotropics etc on a virus to deliver the "good stuff" to the site where it's needed. Has reality finally gotten stranger than dreams? We all know the answer to that one! Kathie Tollifson [log in to unmask]
