This should answer all of your questions
and more. I've been educating myself
about this recently, as my wife has this
condition. I have been doing research
only on the internet and I have been
amazed at the information resources that
are out there.

there are several ways to treat it.
However, I firmly believe that one
important element of treatment that
doctors often fail to suggest is simply
understanding the condition and really
educating oneself. I know that you just
found out about this, so it is probably
difficult to get into reading text on the
internet for hours at a time. However, I
can say from experience that it has been
time well-spent for me (and I still have a
lot to learn).
If I can direct you or help you in any
way, please just let me know. Also, my
wife has told me time-and-time again that
my dedicated support thus far has really
helped her. Your girlfriend will
probably need some help emotionally while
dealing with this...Until you are able to
find the appropriate treatment and "make
it gone". Good luck and feel free to
email.
