It is considered a chronic disease. However, some individuals have had spontaneous remissions. Anit-inflammatory treatment, yoga, meditation, a Mediterranean diet and easy walking (as tolerated) plus swimming, can be helpful. Certain medications, such as gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta and others have been partially helpful for many patients.
