Ditto. Every medical doctor no matter their
speciality says quit smoking. There's enough
evedince in multiple area of medicine to know that
its BBBBAAAADDDDD. Just accept that you are going
to hear this with every trip. Yeah some doctors
like to put the blame back on us because as a group
CH sufferers are not easily put in remission.
I ignore that if otherwise the doctor is working
with me and not just saying "I can't do anything
until you quit smoking". My new neuoroligist suggested
I quit smoking for reasons other than the cluster, knowing
that there is nothing but a statisticle connection.
He also suggested not trying to quit during a cycle
due to creating undue stress. Seemed like good advice to me..
Also I agree with Jeremy's post on this thread wholeheartedly.
