First I would like to welcome you to the group. It is a shame you had to go through this for so long and the crappy diagnosis they kept giving you.

Are you in pain during flares? Have you gotten a pain dr., and or neurologist?

It is great that you have had remission off and on. There is no need to put yourself down many of us have been told that we were making our pain up and that there was nothing wrong, or given the wrong dx.

Welp welcome.
