Calm down, if it is the case, freaking will not help the matter one bit.

I graduated to SP a few years ago. I don't have exacerbations anymore and frankly, it's a relief. Mine were colossal whoppers lasting many, many months at a time.

After 13 years, I went off the shots completely in July '07, don't miss 'em.

Now and then I have a spurt of extra-sluggish days, painful nights, or cognitive fallout and I go for an IVSM which still helps me a lot.

You've seen that I've managed to keep going, albeit at a much slower pace, but go I do.
