In trying to figure out what triggered this particular flare, I was checking everything I may have done differently prior to the flare. I had gotten Chantix to help me stop smoking, as I was advised that it would increase my chance of developing more brain aneurysms. I had just gotten built up to the max dose prior to my coiling procedure, so I thought I'd see just how this new wonder drug (it does work well for quitting, by the way), works to help control the craving.

It works by blocking the receptors for the nicotinic ..... and one site I stumbled on was the head of neurology of I believe Penn State that stated there were no test on myasthenics because we are rare, but because of the action the drug uses he advises definately NOT to use it.

Also, the nicotine patches will exacerbate the weakness in a Myasthenic, which I have direct experience with, although I didn't know that's what caused the extreme problem years ago when it happened.

Guess I'll get a combo of hypnosis, accupuncture and anything else to help me, cause my will is very weak and my addiction very strong.
