There is much I do not know, so I appreciate the information that's been
shared so far. But one thing I do know, is that early treatment is critical.
The disease can become entrenched if not treated earlier and much worse
symptoms develop. A friend of mine had it (he loves to hunt), and he is a
very healthy person normally. He got over it, for now anyway, but it can be
devastating.
