before I knew I had MS my blood work went screwy with inflammation. The MD told me in no cut terms. you MUST quit or some bad things are about to happen to you. She said my CRP was off the chart, my inflammatory markers were going wild, so she predicted some event headed at me and the best thing I could do was quit. So...I quit. my blood work improved, my other indicators dropped, and while it wasnt easy, it was the best thing I ever did for myself. Now with them at 7 and 8 dollars a pack im glad I did.
