Though i was officially diagnosed just 3 years back, i remember having my first flare when i was around 20 or so. But the good fact was that it lasted just a few months and then there was a period where there was no symptoms of pain. I had the next flare around 27 and since then it has cropped up now and then, but never severe till 2008, when it was really bad and i was officially diagnosed. So I hope your daughter gets well soon and hope she does not have a re occurrence of it. AS has different reactions on different individuals.
