It would be interesting to me to correlate what:
1. What stage were you in when diagnosed?
2. Looking back, how many years was it between the onset of symptoms and
finally getting a diagnosis?
3. How many years since onset of symptoms in relation to what stage you are
at now.
For me:
1. I was at stage II when finally diagnosed
2. Roughly 8 yrs.
3. 9 yrs., I am still stage II with some stage III symptoms
