Hi Annie,

I'm new here, and have been trying to read and absorb a lot of this very useful information on this site. Thank you for all your informative contributions!

I did want to share something I learned in another forum for a different condition. Did you know that nightshades also have anti-cholinergic properties? They can inhibit your body's production of acetylcholine, which would have the opposite effect of the cholinesterase inhibition.
