Arachnoiditis has no cure. So you can't have it one day and it be gone the next. I know this because my husband has this disease. It is a horrible painful disease. It gradually get worse and you will have it till the day you die. If a celebrity has it, there is no mistake you would see their pain. Example: Michael J Fox and his Parkinsons disease. He could deny his disease. It's been there for 20 years and will continue to be passes. He can't be cured.
