Anyone Diagnosed With Who Group 1 PH Been Questioned Or Implied By Drs That Ph Is Most Common Amongst Meth Users...
And tried basically getting them to admit they do it and that's why they have PH?
I've heard/read thst meth can be a cause. I've never used any drugs. I'm who group 1. My Drs never even broached the subject of drugs with me. If yours did and you're uncomfortable with them see if you can find a diff Dr.
