According to Jaynie's message from January 4, 2000, Jaynie said her doctor ( Dr. Barbara Levy - from Seattle, WA ) told her that: "90% of her pelvic pain patients are heavy smokers!" Then Jaynie said: "I have wanted to quit for years. My Dr. always said it wasn't a good time. Well, there are always going to be deaths - and hopefully not pain in our lives. So there is NO good time. I'm ready. Since 2 years ago when this all started, I have really been smoking alot."

"Dr. Barbara Levy said she has seen lots of women who have adhesions and endo - who have NO pain." Is it possible that smoking contributes to chronic pain?

The following AMA website offers help for people who have made a decision to quit smoking - in order to improve their health. Perhaps the information at the following web site will help you quit smoking.

If you are able to quit smoking and notice a definite decrease in your pain level, I hope that you will share your success at the IAS forum. It won't be easy, but with the right motivation ( less pain ) it will be worth it!! Good Luck!!
