After 23 yrs. of being chronic with an average of 5 hits a day, I can safely say I'm episodic now. About a yr. and a half ago the hits started becomming less and less frequent. I'm only getting hit every so often now and even though shadows are my constant companion...I think I'm cured and it's "party time" Grin

What a long ride it's been though. I pray this might give some hope to those who think these are never going to go away. I wouldn't have imagined they ever would either.

jk with the "C" word folks. Wink

I hope y'all don't think I'll EVER be among those who leave just because I'm not getting hit regularly. THAT will never happen. You're still stuck with me. I've been here too long to leave now. I thank you all for your "high fives"
