Shipwrights Disease (Mechanica Perpetuae Obligatorum Virulens) is a
virus... for that matter it may be a "slow-virus"... Sorry, like
herpes, once you get it... YOU'VE GOT IT... forever...
Take faith in knowing that outbreaks are followed by brief periods of
remission... Drugs can forstall the outbreaks of SD however, when
symptoms do recur, they seem to be worse for the delay.
You are doing all you can for the disease by joining a support group.
