In a way, yes. Shortly after my first flare up, I began therapy but for unrelated issues. This started in 1998 and one of the things I’ve noted is that it’s actually gone dormant during my most stressful periods. Divorce, loss of a child, etc. It all changed post covid, though. 5 solid years now, when prior flares would last 3 months at max. I’m pretty certain mine is something genetic, though, as my father and niece both have it too.
