I'm not here knocking how people deal with their illness, we all make choices in how we use our limited energy, so if that comment is aimed at me I'd appreciate it if you gave me a little more respect.
Time for me to bow out of this now, clearly you all know best.
Please don't leave the forum, Artstu. I certainly have your best interests at heart and I think that most - maybe all - of us do. Some people are rightly concerned that others might emulate what you are doing and come to harm. With no little or no help from official sources it is left to us to help and learn from each other, and stop people from making the same mistakes as many of us did (myself included).
Maybe best to think of some of the critical comments as a kind of 'tough love' or 'being cruel to be kind'. I hope that I have erred on the side of love and kindness and not been too cruel or tough!
