99% healed. It was the drinking/smoking that made it worse

Maybe this could help someone here

I used to enjoy cocaine moderately (bad choice i know) and would flare up every single time. I began to notice that my symptoms went away when i hadn’t used in while.

But then i also kept drinking and smoking cigarettes every now and then. I thought it was just the cocaine making the costo worse—

turns out, my body flares up when any drug is in my system, basically. Even 1-2 cigarettes would cause me to flare up for a weekend.

I’ve since dropped all my vices and no longer flare up. I didn’t initially realized that drinking/smoking would be the issue - i had always enjoyed myself in my late teens/ early twenties without any issues.

This is my advice to anyone struggling: It could be the substances you use that cause you to flare up.

In addition to getting sober, I also stretch daily and try to do strength workouts. I no longer experience flare ups

TLDR: Getting sober from drinking/smoking + Stretching daily + lifting weights have healed my costco 99%

Also: I had ECG’s and blood work to rule out a heart issue, according to doctors.
