4-eyes,
I could have written this, as it is a more accurate description than what I wrote myself. Most months, I get a reprieve from symptoms (never completely gone) for less than a week, and sometimes I get lucky and have longer. Sometimes that reprieve never comes. But it all seems to revolve around that stupid cycle! Maybe the symptoms aren't exactly the same, as I have general weakness and DV issues mostly (at the moment), but the rest sounds eerily familiar.

And this is exactly what I was thinking of trying, and why I was hopeful that going a nutritionist/holistic route might work.

And thank you, it does help, although it still feels like there must be a simple fix.
