Hi Jim,
Boy I sure would like to say, " don't worry they go away and never come back " and I for sure don't want to rain on anyones parade. After all not only do we come here for info. but for support and positive reinforcement . I have heard of people growing out of them . I've had them for 23 years, as of Nov. '97 I went chronic . Presently I am on full disability, for how long I don't know . But the bottom line is DO NOT give up hope . It does get easier to handle, ( not so much the pain, but the whole situation ) . I get my strength to cope from God . Remember, " if it don't kill ya, it will only make ya stronger ". From what I understand it is not hereditary, thank God . Good luck and hang tough pal.
