Whats up with 2 years?

[Guest veryblue]

I was just wondering what seems to be up with the two year milestone? It seems like most people get significiantly better around the two year mark. Also the 4 people that I know of who have made a full recovery did so around the two year mark. Is there some kind of research that says the body takes two years to heal or something? Any ideas?

I think that the two to three year issue comes up with those folks who appear to have a post-viral onset of POTS. Perhaps the virus burns out after a number of years... I haven't read any hard research stating the specific 2 year mark, I've only heard it from doctors in presentations and from the few people I know who are recovered specifically for post-viral patients.

I'm not aware of a universal or typical 2-year mark for recovery.

My suggestions to you still stand, regarding pursuing diagnosis and treatment.

veryblue, after your repeated questions on the topic, I don't think you can learn anything new from us at this point about recovery time and liklihood of it.
