relapse

Relapse is the prankster trampling on the joy of recovery. Just when symptoms seem vanquished, they stealthily return like shadows, wasting patient endurance and physician schedules. Its capricious whim shatters the sweet illusion of health, like an invitation to a macabre dance of disease. The cruelest gift bestowed upon those who dare to dream of renewal.
