20 years ago, after nearly a year of having gradually worsening symptoms, I started having a slowly progressing remission (I like this terminology).
And just like you say-nothing got in the way of it.
I remember cautiously going back to playing with my son in the park (no problem), instead of sitting and passively watching him play. And then deciding I could start my internship (no problem, except for my voice which continued to be softer for another year or so). At first I made sure all my night shifts were at the end of the week (so I could rest after that), but then realized there was no need for that.

My spontaneous remission lasted for 15 (wonderful) years.
