I agree that it gets better if you take care of yourself. I have been dealing with this for over 30 years and the last few years have to be some of the best that I ever had. With age comes wisdom-it's true-even though you never have told me that and made me listen in my 20s. Sleeping right, eating as healthy as I can, not smoking and exercise, have made an enormous difference. We are not statistics, but rather individuals with a common problem, and get defy the "experts" and studies that put us in categories.
