I am not sure about that. I think that like every disease, some are very easy to treat and others not so. I am not sure we are a representative group of patients. As we all seem to have less typical and harder to manage disease.

I believe that patients who have a fast and easy diagnosis and remission are busy living their normal life. To be honest, I am quite sure that had I gone into complete remission after my first hospitalization I would be much less interested in learning about this illness, meeting other patients etc, and probably would have been very busy working, just like I was before I became ill and quite content with not knowing more about this illness than what is written in my text-book.
