You are right marquis113...there is no cure...for now. Hopefully, as the condition becomes more widely recognized & more patients/patient advocates speak out, there will be ongoing research into discreet causes (my mom also has LS...I am the only one of 5 daughters who has it as well) such as genetics or what specific triggers or prodromal symptoms do patients experience in the day or days up to a flare-up. If it is related to other autoimmune diseases, do patients experience worse symptoms during stressful times? There are a lot of questions out there that need answers. These are just a couple of mine.
