is best treated as soon as possible, because it becomes chronic and
more resistant to effective treatment when diagnosis and initiation of
therapy is delayed. Many doctors are unaware of this problem because
they have little experience in making the diagnosis, and in treating
this syndrome. You may, therefore, need to take a somewhat proactive
approach to educate your doctor or healthcare team about this problem,
and to seek effective solutions from them.
