My last major episode was this year. Before that I was episode free for 6 years. I naively fooled myself into thinking I was 'cured'. NOT! I crashed (or precisely speaking shot up into the sky with my mood). Nope I pretty much think that my BP is here to stay ... forever.

(Sorry if I didn't answer any specific question you may have had. Just throwing my thoughts on your title of this thread. I'm multitasking listening to music videos - not very well apparently).
