Cigarettes and Alcohol

[D Foster]

I think it depends on how you deal with stress ,some people are very laid back so it's just like water off a ducks back, I had a very stressful job and I cannot be sure that it made a difference to the P it certainly effected me in many other ways when it got bad such as sleep or the lack of it , stomach upsets could also be a problem . I feel that maybe the P was effected at a secondary level with all the other upsets that kicked in probably causing a lowering of general resistance which did nothing help at all.
I took MTX for nine years and never drank alcohol after a couple of bad blood results when I first started , I did smoke years ago but only cigars and if any thing that helped to calm me down and reduce the stress though I don't think it did my health any good.
