zona, Jan H. here. Sorry you had to join this
group, but glad that they got you diagnosed be-
fore something worse happened....You asked
how long it took for aching-burning in lower back, legs
to get better? I think that everyone will tell you that
this is an individual thing and that no one can give you
a prognosis for your 'exact' recovery! Also, it has been
my observation that there is no time line for any of the
symptoms you experience--that, too, is individual and
no one should think that the clock is running-rather that
you are making some progress daily even if it is small!! The
fatigue you mentioned is, for me, a constant--my drs told
me to listen to my body and rest as needed--don't overdo
or it'll take longer to come back! and this has proved to
be the case with me.
Congratulations on your recent engagement! Make your
plans and just work around your health--life does go on
and I've found that it is more precious now than it ever
was before.
Glad you found this group-I'm certain that you will hear
from others. Just remember to keep a positive attitude!
Jan H
