Hi tattoo13 - this is a quit smoking support community - unfortunately not what you are looking for, perhaps do a search on HealthUnlocked, tried doing one there but not familiar with the condition so maybe best searching yourself..

I do want to give up smoking, I specifically asked for others like me, as there seem to be added issues made more complex by the medications I am taking and hence the into... could have worded it better lol x

Oh ok tattoo13 ....... maybe speak to your doctor about the best way to quit as we would not have the professional medical knowledge here to advice.

We look forward to seeing you begin your quitting journey and give any quitting advice and support to you very soon.

Below is a pinned post with some helpful tips if you want to have a read off.....

I have transverse myelitis which is where any virus can attack the "sleeve" that protects the spinal column... it is not my condition that I am asking about it is how stop smoking patches or champix etc react with the medication for my condition... I thought that someone on here may have experience with the same meds ... longtec tablets and transtec patches .... any advice/input appreciated please x

tattoo13 .As advised by both myself and ThinLizzy, even if we did know about the condition or have any members with the same condition, we would not have the medical professional knowledge to advice especially on this platform about quitting aids with the condition - this community is solely for support and share struggles during quitting journeys. I hope you can find some answers/advice with your doctor and again, we will look forward to Day 1 of your quitting journey soon...

sorry no advice,no knowledge of this.

would doctor not advice you on which way to go and tell you of any interactions with patch and meds.

you take care 😊
