When I’m running symptom hot... that can mean being slammed with them all day, every day, for weeks/months; or just a few every day /most days -bracketed/relieved by a helluva lot of other symptoms- for weeks/months/years. It’s rare for me to only have one symptom taking up most of my days when things are running hot, so the second option is far more common for me. When I’m durn near asymptomatic? That can mean just a flicker here and there once every few years or so. My own personal timeline looks something like this5+ years - Hot10 years - Asymptomatic, or near as makes no never mind 5+ years - Hot But that’s just me. I’ve known people who only spend a couple years (or even just a few months!) hit hard... and others who have spent decades dealing with symptoms up to their eyeballs. So don’t take my timeline as any kind of guide. It’s a very personal kind of thing, with a helluva lot of moving parts. If I’d been faster out the gate this second time around? I might could have gotten in front of things any time within the first 2 years. But I didn’t. Next time, however? :sneaky: I know better! (The first time around I didn’t do any kind of trauma therapy, and the second time around I resisted and avoided it for years, as things just kept getting worse.).</blockquote>
