Cured? Strong word: Your syndrome unclear. Lhermitte's is a sign seen in spinal cord disease. CIS is often an abbreviation for carcinoma in situ. What "CIS" are you referring to? "Cured" a strong word -meaing illness CAUSE has resolved. Can you prove that? Bands seen in autoimmune processes - may produce intermittent syndromes. Good to hope.
