These things are partly down to opinion, as is the diagnosis of PTS in the first place...many others will be diagnosed with anxiety disorder, depression etc.

I think if we look at cure, we need to think what it means. When I take antibiotics for bronchitis, I goes away. So I am cured. But only until the next time I get a bad dose of flu and it comes back.

If I have a vaccination, I am not cured but will never suffer the disease.

I have an 'incurable' skin condition, that is supposedly stress related (among other factors). Bizarrely this is in almost complete remission for the first time in 30 years, despite stressors, triggers etc.

One of the most important factors is a belief in the self as an individual to heal. The other is to accept the current level of recovery. While one doctor will talk about something as curable and another will say the opposite, I think a remission or recuction of symptoms is the first key.

Telling me it is incurable, has always felt self-defeating. It is treatable, it takes time and effort. Most of all, it requires patience from the person suffering from it, as well as endless understanding for those around them (unfortunately this is often lacking).
