Actually, and happily, it does resolve in most cases, after 1-5 years. It’s a self-limited auto-immune condition. People who get better typically don’t stay on sites like this for obvious reasons, so it makes it seem like no one gets better.

it appeared suddenly in my life last July. 10 mg of prednisone got me almost back to normal within a day or 2. I have tried to taper several times, one time getting down to 2.5, but stress in one former another caused a flareup of symptoms. I have had none of the side effects that you have mentioned. I lost weight because I went on the keto diet to try to fight the inflammation. I am actually thinner than I want to be.
