13 months for me. My symptoms have been *better* for 3 months, though...not gone, but better, so I am hopeful that they will continue to resolve. This is such a scary disease because you can't really know how long it will last. Every time any of my lumps hurt or change, I am afraid that they will develop into a new abscess. Anyway, since my body is doing so much better, I am trying to think of new ways to give it a boost - I have been trying something similar to lymphatic massage.
