| Shortness of Breath (Air Hunger) Matt 20:26:31 |
| | Hi I'm 21 years old and I've been a smoker since it was legal for me (18), until a month ago. I've been to the doctor three times since I quit, all for shortness of breath. Let me explain what I'm experiencing: I'm not wheezing or coughing or panting, it just feels like I'm not getting enough air or oxygen. I find myself taking deeper breaths or yawning just to feel satisfied. I'm supposedly physically alright, there was nothing wrong with my chest x-rays and nothing showed up on any blood tests except for a high white blood cell count on my second visit. That was when I had food poisoning and the next doctor (at the ER) found nothing like that. My oxygen level stays at 99-100 and the doctor couldn't hear anything wrong with my breathing or heart. I went to the ER because of a bad case of "air hunger," and because I was feeling lightheaded and nauseous from the drug Avelox (which I didn't know at the time).
I've been prescribed Avelox, z-pak, and aciphex (one doctor believed it might be caused by GERD), nothing seems to do the trick. I don't think it's an infection or something that responds to antibiotics. The problem is usually worse at night, sometimes it's so bad I feel like I'm stretching out my chest muscles too much when I take a really deep breath and I can feel a dullish pain between my pecs and armpits on either side after awhile.
And something else, I'm feeling lightheaded right now and I haven't taken my avelox yet today (I decided to finish it just incase it was helping), can the drug still cause side-effects ~20 hours later? It's to the point where I'm getting scared. To have something wrong with me already is making me depressed. I'm not sure what to do. I don't know if it's all in my head which all medical signs seem to point to, but if it is it's very real to me! Does anyone have any advice/know what this could be? Or has anyone experienced anything like this before?

| Nicotine withdrawal depression? Guest 16:20:59 |
| | Hi everyone,
Well I tried to quit a month ago and went back to it, so here I am trying again. It has been 6 days with zero nicotine. The first few days were annoying, I was agitated, anxious, and angry, but it seems like things have taken an emotional turn for the worse for me since then. I am starting to obsess about certain things, like my ex, and feel depressed and down on myself. Is this normal? This was the main reason I went back to it a month ago because these feelings are so horrible, and the nicotine seems to cure these thoughts. Will they go away? Has anyone else experienced this?
Please help! I want to quit but not if I am going to be a basket case!
Thanks for your support. Bryan

| Mild Emphysema Joyhton 22:03:42 |
| | A few months ago I had a couple of lung scans a few weeks apart. Background: I had had a fainting spell and my doctor ordered a whole range of tests to try to figure out what caused it. We never did find out.
Anyway, he sent me the print out of the results of both scans. One result that really hit me between the eyes was "mildly emphysemous". No, I did not panic. Instead, I waited until my next regular appointment to ask him. Just got back from his office a few hours ago. My question was: What does "mildly emphyseous" mean? Will it stay quiet like a nice lodger and not get any worse?
His answer: "As long as you don't smoke, it won't get any worse."
Please, all of you who have quit or are anywhere at all in the quitting process, remember that you don't have to get hooked up to an oxygen tank even if you do have a touch of emphysema. But don't wait until you do get it to quit. Just don't smoke. Ever again.
Be strong. Don't smoke. Not even one. Especially not one.
Joyce OOF (7 years 4 weeks 3 days)

| | Well it has been months since I have posted here, but I wanted to let you all know I still move forward smoke free and do not get to post often as I have so much else to do.
Back the first of the year we had a plumbing flood in the house. The construction work is done but we still have 18 months to replace all destroyed articles. Did a few things already and will be ordering the new furniture this week. We had to completely replace the laminate floors in the whole house. The new floor is better looking (replaced because could not match the original pattern/color) but it does replace the floors originally paid for 2+years ago with savings from quitting smoking.
We just returned from a 3 week trip, the longest vacation in years. We spent 9 nights on a ground tour of Italy and then 10 days on a cruise that went from Rome to Debrovnik Croatia, Corfu/Katacolon/Santorini Greece, Kusadasi Turkey, Valletta Malta, Messina Italy then back to Rome.
Wonderful trip but it sure is surprising how many people smoke in those countries. Of course after all these years I am still smoke free. Been out of the classroom for a few weeks now but go back on the 24th through mid October. After that need to wait and see if I am assigned more classes. Completed 3 years as a part time college instructor and plan to continue for many years.
On the trip I turned 64 (yep just like McCartney) so am really close to retirement. Look to do more travel and cruising at that time, if the air fares don't prevent me from doing that. Airline tickets were almost as much as the cruise and that is way too high.
Best to all of you in continuing your quits. For those newly started believe me it does get better. In fact after a year or two with the right mental attidude about your quit you never think about it at all.

| Ribena Rob is Great Ribena Rob 11:53:12 |
| | Hello,
I quit smoking one week and one day ago when somebody pointed out that it might be bad for me. I meant to post here sooner but got confused and posted to rec.food.recipes instead.
I have been ill since I stopped: a tooth is infected, my throat is ulcerated, my tongue hurts and I had a nose bleed. I tried to console myself by calculating how much money I have saved by not buying cigarettes over the last week: ??45. Unfortunately, in that time, I have spent about ??70 on junk food and expensive coffees from that rip-off coffee shop down the road.
Hoping to shortly realise (any) benefits, Ribena Rob

| recipe for peach honey Lynn 08:02:48 |
| | ok so peach time is here and they go soft faster than you can eat them . I made this today, recipe from a very old cookbook and is soo good on hot biscuits or toast.
peel and chop up peached (mash very well) twice the amount of sugar as peaches
(those in a brain fog this means if you have 3 cups of cut up peaches used 6 cups of sugar)
cook on low heat stirring constantly and once it starts to boil, boil for 1/2 hour while stirring.( it will be thick and clear) bottle in hot sterilize bottles.about the 125 ML size ( 1/2 cup) and although the recipe didn't specify it I put them in a boiling water bath to make sure they would keep. ( boil bottles in covered hot water for 5 mins)
*cold peaches peel easier and this will keep your hands busy so you can't smoke. I have 3 baskets of them to do tomorrow

| Smoking sure is dangerous .... Cuckoo 19:22:47 |
| | 4 Neighbors Arrested in Cigarette Fight From Associated Press August 10, 2006 3:57 PM EDT DECATUR, Ala. - A cigarette butt casually tossed to the ground sparked a daylong argument between four neighbors that escalated into a fight that sent at least three of them to the hospital and got them all arrested.
"It's sad that people were injured over a cigarette butt," Lt. Chris Mathews, spokesman for the Decatur Police Department, said Thursday.
Police said a guest visiting Bobby Joe Ray, 42, tossed a cigarette butt toward the edge of Ray's yard on Aug. 4. The butt landed near a fence belonging to Ray's neighbor, Michael Alan Bradford, 24. Bradford got angry and started shouting about it.
Several residents of the neighborhood said Ray and Bradford argued about the butt all day, Mathews said, and eventually Ray's sister, Shirley Lynn Ray White, 32, who lives across the street, tangled with Bradford's wife, Heather Mills Bradford, 27, and the men soon joined in.
At least three went to the hospital for treatment of injuries, and all four were arrested Tuesday and were released on bond the same day.
Shirley Lynn Ray White is charged with third-degree assault. Bobby Joe Ray and Heather Mills Bradford are charged with harassment. Michael Alan Bradford is charged with harassment and third-degree assault.

| | -----------------------
BELIEF MAKES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
In order to succeed, you must first believe you can. The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life, is the will to try it and the faith to believe that it's possible.
The only true limit to your realization of tomorrow will be your doubts of today. The moment you carry the conviction of belief, in that moment your dream will become reality.
You can, if you think you can.

| Does Herbal Patches Work? Smoky_turkey 17:32:34 |
| | Hi,
I like to if anyone has experience with the new herbal patches on the market (e.g. nicocure)?
They claim it does not have nicotine in it so it has no side effects like the regular patch, it's about the same price as the patch so I'm inclined to try it if it actually works.
Any good or bad expereiences?

| OT: "dog food diet" Hieronymous707 08:49:47 |
| | So, I'm in the supermarket checkout line (express lane because I only have one item, a thirty pound bag of dog food), when the woman behind me asks if I have a dog. I respond, no, and tell her that I'm starting the "dog food diet" again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital the last time I tried it, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before waking up one day in the Intensive Care Unit.
I explain that it is essentially the perfect diet, and that the way it works is to load your pants pockets with kibble; and simply eat one or two bits every time you feel hungry; and that the food is nutritionally complete, so I was going to try it again. Horrified, she asked if I'd been poisoned, and if that was why I was previously in the hospital.
I told her no; I'd been sitting in the street licking my balls when I was hit by a car.
