I have accepted that I am going to have some bad times but I have many good days or even weeks. It took 3 years for my first Pdoc to get me on the right meds and when I got my current Pdoc she fine tunes my meds on a monthly basis. Yes..most of us do get better and our condition is more tolerable. It really helps when you have friends and family that know your condition and support you. My friends will even tell me when they think I need to see my Pdoc for a med ajustment. I have asked them to let me know when they notice I am having problems. They usually can detect it before I do.
