Question: Hello I am a both a Diabetic (not yet controlled) and a post CVA patient, I am a smoker that understands ghd risk in smoking, I have tried different avenues to stop smoking that have not worked from patches to z pill that did not work and have family that have received the treatment using Chantix successfully (one of which has heart disease and the other a post stroke patient before taking the drug Chantix) I know that situations are different patient to patient but I both need and want to stop smoking and wan to get my diabetes in control I also known that I must do some things differently to help myself toward getting and/or stabilizing my existing health and for me smoking or not smoking is a.priority with diet. I am with Kelsy Care. Advantage presently and want to know what practice physicians will better served my position and needs. My present physicians won't. I have read the FDA report on Chantix and find that the Chantix treatment could still be worth me trying thud method. I want to know since my insurance allows me to self refer should I see. I also know that I felt better before I started back smoking after my stroke then I feel now smoking and I know I must stop. Will you send me some direction to better help myself please? My story is more involved than I am able to share in this message and has no bearing with my present need.
