It is too rare to estimate, and many cases go for years undiagnosed. Most people reporting the disease do seem to be between 20 and 50, but there are too few examples to confirm if this is just down to them being more adept at finding other sufferers and reporting it. I am basing this on a list of about 20 cases made known to me in almost 10 years of running a group to put people in touch with each other.
