All really great advice, particularly the point about not ignoring early signs. Hope I'm not too late. Thanks.
One final tip: in my experience, things that work show progress fairly quickly. Like, 1-2 attempts. They won't cure it that quick, but you'll usually notice some sort of positive sign.
I say this because there are all manner of treatments that don't really do anything or may not do anything for your particular case. People can end up doing 5-10 sessions of something to no avail and at considerable cost.
