To be honest, I’m not sure that we had any discussion was about a specific level of drinking, what type of alcohol, or when in life consumed. It’s been several years ago and with my sudden onset 7 years ago (10 days from weakness to wheelchair), but I recall them saying alcohol would have produced warning signs well beyond 10 days, more like months or years. But I do not know if there would be a difference for “alcoholic “ vs “social “, and I didn’t ask. I think it’s natural to wonder sometimes if we’re exceptions to the rule… we all have heard of that with some certain diseases. I guess I’ve exhausted myself with wonder finally. For a long time I wanted to blame myself, or the environment, or others, then finally the doctors for not knowing. Finally with some very good folks here, I was able to shift my focus in a more positive direction in just trying to learn and act on what I might be able to do now to get the best quality of life. We all would like to learn from knowing our cause, but I’m accepting that it’s not going to happen for me. It sure has been a journey for all of us!
