The first one was 20 years ago and I'm guessing it lasted about a month. The second one was 2 years ago and it lasted 6-8 weeks. The most recent was in July and it was in week 4 when it met its match in the form of Solu-Medrol :-)

Mine seem to last anywhere from six to twelve weeks.  They used to resolve completely, but now they seem to leave lingering symptoms- makes it harder for me to tell if they are really over or not.

Thanks.  I don't know if this has been asked before but I'm new here so I wanted to see what others were experiencing.

Mine seem to happen for months...more than a few but not a year!
