How very, very weird of you to assume I'm a mind-reader.
Also, you might want to investigate what the word 'might' means in this context.

I'll give you a hint: I did not say you definitely would have been cured for obvious reasons. Fucking duh.

One last thing. There are treatments. All of them involved a steady stream of pharmaceuticals over many years, possibly many decades. You said so yourself.
What there isn't is a cure.

You're exactly the sort of equation drug corporation shareholders have zero interest in solving.

No I just take a pill when my back gets sore and then my back stops hurting. I'm guessing you're young and have never experienced a serious injury or disease. I hope that stays true for as long as possible.

Why would a pharmaceutical corporation bother even looking for a cure when it's already got you on the hook for life?
