Hello.....

Please understand I am not a Doctor.

But I saw your post and thought I might let you know that your sister is not alone.

My mother and father quit smoking 5 years ago. My father was fine. But my mother suffered alot She was unable to function due to headaches nausea and pains in her lower back and arms. She fell into a strong depression. And was unable to function. She saw 4 diffrent doctors that seemed baffled as to why she was having these problems. SHe gave up after a year and resumed smoking whithin 2 weeks she was feeling stronger the headaches disapeared and she was herself again.

Her doctor said he had never seen anything like it but conceeded the point of allowing her to smoke.

We looked up alot on line and was unable to find much about it.
Hope your sister can find the help she need's Tonya
