Stevie really needs to rethink not participating in the new Fleetwood Mac album

Also I'd like to point out that the infection usually happens during the 20-35 years old time window and it's unlikely for a woman to develop an illness because of it at a much later age.

Whilst it's difficult to agree with the exact details of Jondalar's post, I do have sympathy with his general premise. That's to say, Stevie has lived a rock n roll lifestyle and that is bound to take it out of her body. Though Stevie may have other female family members that have lived to a good age that doesn't automatically mean Stevie will follow suit. Those other female family members probably haven't abused their body repeatedly over a long period of time as Stevie has.
*Substance abuse- Klonopin, cocaine, alcohol, cigs, pot + whatever else
*Travel- regularly moving between time zones and expecting the body to constantly adjust
*Touring- those concerts look pretty draining
*Recording- as with travel, pushing the body to extremes in terms of an irregular body clock

Whilst I hope Stevie (and the rest of the band) do indeed live to a good age, I'd say their life expectancy probably is slightly lower than if they'd lived a more regular lifestyle. Of course, that shouldn't be a factor in terms of how a person chooses to use the remaining years of their life; she might say to herself- 'I haven't got too much longer left, I'd really like to maximise Stevie-time instead of devoting time to the band'. which is absolutely fine provided she were straight with the band.
