I'm no puritan and I do not judge others for their choices. But I did nothing whatsoever to bring this illness on. I was as fit as possible, had not eaten white flour and sugar for years, never smoked (anything, except to try smokables and then not choose to continue), had a glass or two of wine with meals a couple of times a week, never even tried things like LSD, meth, etc. Never was into junk food, either.
Now I'm using medical marijuana and I just wish I'd opened my mind to it sooner! It helps so much with sleep and pain and might be helping with other things like muscle spasms and cognitive problems. I make my own tincture, just as with any medicinal herb, so I'm still not smoking anything. Never liked that.
I'm pretty sure no one was saying that anyone put illness apon themselves. Even if people do drugs most don't do it thinking that they will get ill in the future.
It's just a thread to find out if there is a relationship between drug abuse and ME which is probably likely. Most illnesses have that connection. I've never done drugs and my parents have never smoked throughout my childhood. But I'm still ill. I definitely didn't do enough exercise or eat the best which I don't blame myself for just because I wasn't educated enough back then
