I wonder at what stage I can say I'm "cured". I just realized I spent 6 hours on my feet trimming the hedges in the garden without much of a break. That includes standing on ladders, cleaning up etc. Although my feet did feel a bit "vulnerable" this morning (hard to explain - it's not hurting but feeling like doing anything to them will hurt), they feel totally fine now.

I think someone on this thread (Newstown?) quoted a Japanese study where most of the patients were symptom free after 5 years of sobriety, so in a way that still gives me 1 year and 10 months to further recover. Maybe it won't heal further, and this is as good as it gets, but that would be great too. It's not ideal but certainly manageable.

1144 days BTW, still continuing to watch my diet (it seems that the mainstream media cought on to "it's not fat, it's sugar" - only took them 50 years...) and still taking a daily high dose (6mg EPA/DHA combined) of high quality fish oil. Although I can't prove it, it causes a big change in how well I feel and function.
