I quit smoking cigs in March of 2002 and my cycle began anyway 3 days ago. I'm actually contemplating getting pregnant again (had a baby on June 23rd) to stop this cycle before it gets too long, LOL ;D

still smoke filter cigarettes but am wondering if joints are a "known"trigger?found since diagnosis that trying to change habits has reduced the frequency of my attacks,o2 is good at stopping them before they get too bad,but i'd like to do what i can to cut them back as much as possible,
good luck trying melissa!!

One thing I will say, is that cigarettes and marijuana tend to "speed up" a hit... ie. make it hit it's peak and therefore go away more quickly. I tend to reach for a cig as soon as I feel like I'm going to actually get hit. I believe also that marijuana can tend to trigger an attack similarly to alcohol, but the hits tend to be "compressed" like when I smoke a cig to speed it up.
Continuing to smoke MJ while being hit, though, does not seem to affect it one way or the other... doesn't make it worse or better.

Oh boy Dave, did you let yourself in for some crap on that one! LMAO!!
A Fag in England is a cigarette....not the slang for homosexual that is commonly used here in the states.
Ok, I tried to head it off... but.... LOL!
Dave, haven't tried the O2 yet... am planning on it when I get my next cycle.

Logic tells me that inhaling any kind of smoke would comprimise your oxygen levels. I cant smoke when I'm being attacked but light up immediately after.
