They are called subarachnoid hemorrhages and are 8 times more common among women who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day than among non-smokers. The report was published online July 21 in the journal "Stroke" . Is that information that you think is important to know? How so?
I do not smoke however the doctor wants me to take a medicine that has a stroke risk with it.
A big dilemma; should I take a real added risk for a stroke or have a 20% chance of cancer.
Just can't take that first pill. Though the risk II'm told) is small for a stroke, if you have a stroke the risk
is 100% and it's too late. Very big dilemma for me right now.
I quit smoking seven months go. Not one urge to ever smoke again. My first year of being a non-smoker in years.
Condolences m'dear. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Such dilemmas are not rare or unique sadly. You just gotta gamble. Anyway good luck and finger's crossed that the choice you make is the right one. I have NEVER understood why the pharmaceutical industry doesn't know to make medications without potentially dire side effects. It almost seems as if they go out of their way to do so. Sell more drugs don'tcha know? Drugs to combat the side effects. And so on and so on and so on!
:( Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday MS! :)
