DesertFlower,
I will check this out. I believe your dad is right that the craving never goes away. My dad quit about 25 years ago and told me that when he sees someone smoking it still makes him want one. I would be totally open to using herbs. I'll be sure and check them out first to make sure they won't interact with the MG.

Hopefully you're not getting sick. If you're like I am you kind of feel like something may be coming on but you're not certain until you have clear cut symptoms. I know it is worrisome to not know if you have overdone it and are dealing with an MG flare up or if you have picked something up. I did finally get over my bronchitis and sinus infection. It made me sooo sick that I couldn't hardly do anything for about 10 days. I definitely learned my lesson about working more than I can now handle.

I am curious about the platelet issue too. I have never been able to find anything that shows a connection between high platelets and MG but I need to spend some more time researching that. If I find anything I'll let you know. Thanks again for the link!!!
