6. How long until you started to feel better after treatment started?

I think I’ve had it for close to two years, judging by when my knee started swelling for no obvious reason and when the random, moving joint pains began. The brain fog and insomnia has been occurring for about a year. The migraines started about 6-8 months ago.

God god, when I write it out like that, I feel really stupid that it took me so long to go to the doctor. I kept rationalizing everything away.
