Thanks, Curious.

Becky, I stumbled upon this stuff by accident. I had started eating chocolate and having the occasional cola due to doctor stress. When I stopped cold turkey, I noticed I was weaker. That's when I started to dig around. I didn't think the sugar was helping, so I figured it had to be the caffeine. Thanks to Google, I just put in "caffeine acetylcholine" and hit the jackpot.

Here are a couple sites that explain the connection. The first is about nightshades and the second about caffeine and lung function.

That's interesting about your EMG's. I have no idea if it can have the same effect Mestinon does on EMG's. I do know that several sites about EMG's say you shouldn't have caffeine for about 3 hours before the test. Doctors should do a study about this!!! I mean, what if caffeine does make it look like we don't have MG when we do?
