I also wonder how many people have a mild or moderate case and don't even know it. I think that described me for years before my TOS got really bad.

If it's hard to get a serious case of TOS diagnosed correctly, imagine having mild symptoms like numb hand and occasional shoulder pain diagnosed correctly and quickly. Not likely.

Also, some celebs may keep it private if they fear it will impact their career. An actor or politician may not wish to share their health problems with the world.
