@anro, did you recently discover that you have pseudocholinesterase deficiency, a rare disorder that makes you sensitive to certain muscle relaxants — succinylcholine or mivacurium — used during general anesthesia?

I notice that you've also posted in the Parkinson's disease group.

Has it been suggested that you take donepezil (Aricept)? To treat dementia?
