Ahhh Billie...would that rapid cycling is a respector of age but not so..I was in my early 50's at diagnoisis and was cycling literally numerous times a day for weeks but, this is not true for everyone. Keep the faith, with the right meds and therapy I returned to my career as a Registered Nurse....it just doesn't happen overnight and it's different for everybody I think. Good luck to you in your journey.
