I was diagnosed in 1995 and I just retired in March. I take no meds except a multi-vitamin. My Dr. has said I don’t know what you are doing but keep doing it. The key for me is to stay active. Oh don’t get me wrong I have had episodes (that is what I call them) where I was miserable I just couldn’t stand it. But, I have a great support team (my tribe) and I have been able to come out of it with no lasting effects so far.
