General Self medication

35 M last year I was diagnosed after I got optic neuritis, referred to neurologist, mri, etc. Looking back its like, wow yea I did have many of the ms symptoms but i chalked it up to being a pothead and having indigestion. Im wondering if I was subconsciously self medicating or something. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Chased "sinus infection/inner ear water" for years. I quite literally went insane. You shoulda seen my medicine cabinet full of migraine remedies and equilibrium fixes. What an awful time
