Well, being another member of the 25% that didn't smoke or drink, so who knows, maybe viral?? Don't spend the energy on why. You will need all the mental energy you have to get you through the cure. You have to go on with your life, put up with what it takes to cure you--the good, the bad and the ugly. Once through it life does get better! You can survive this thing if you take it day by day!
