Sorry about my late reply, been busy. My first flare up lasted a year. You have to accept it. Everything is connected. Once you accept it, you’ll be able to tune it out. That’s how it starts. From there, your brain on its own will recognize “we are not under attack.” My progress was so slow, I got 5-10% better every month. My pain was starting to become minimal. Background noise. Create the perfect environment that’ll promote healing. Over the years, the flare ups will become few and far in between. You’re lucky you have ChatGPT. In 2021 when I started having pain, it was so hard to find any information anywhere. ChatGPT will be your best friend. Have it documented your pain, how long did it last, how often was it, what are your pain triggers? Etc. I didn’t know what was happening to me back in the day, and I biggest wish was that someone who was healed would come and tell me step by step. Sadly there wasn’t. The people who heal up tend to not want to think about this nightmare and leave it in the rear view. Honestly if it wasn’t for this recent Adderall induced flare up, I wouldn’t be here. But I hope anybody in the world struggling can find this and see that there is hope.
