Got a bit of a problem

[X&Y]

Hi Karma

Thanks for asking

Had a bit of a poor nights sleep last night (totally unrelated)
So was not a good day today

I suffer with the effects of sleep depravation quite badly

Sound like a real case don't I

Went to Docs earlier on and explained situation, not my usual Doc who is quite strict but at the same time a good listener.
Anyway Doc was a bit non fussed when i said i had given up smoking but then sort of tuned in when i mentioned e-cigs

Basically said allergy test was a non starter, typical NHS saving costs, it's for me to do an elimination process.

So i asked the big question "what's your view on e-cigarettes" he said i think they are good but you do realise there have been no clinical trials on them but i have been hearing good things "how did you find it" i said quite easy to be honest the hand to mouth thing and didn't feel like i was missing out on anything

but then it went slightly wrong for me but still think it's the way for me.

He asked if i was still interested in smoking cessastion and i said yeh of course and he recommended a local chemists who are supposed to be good guessing patches, inhalators and so forth


I replied nah don't think that would work for me

Said go away and experiment with juices and nic strengths but seemed very keen for me to go back and update on progress.

So not a lost cause but looks like it's me who has to do the work

I love paying NI every month so i can experiment for the NHS

Anyway i'm back on the Riva at the mo purely because i hate smoking the occasional nastie and miss the taste of the juices

Jeez why is nothing simple

Yeh, keep us updated whuf - we need a hammer on here!

Hi Whufc, so it seems like its down to you to find whats not agreeing with you ??? Still think of the money your saving the NHS

Encouraging that the doctor didnt dish the e-cigs thou, but rather funny that he thought you might prefer patches

Good luck and i hope you start to feel better soon, and keep us updated

I guess he had to reccomend an alternative to e-cigs cos that what Pharma oops sorry the NHS pay him for ....

Had a feeling the blood tests on the NHS would be a no go, maybe try asking for a sex change at the same time ??

This thread title is quite appropriate for me.

what ya get ?

[Perpetua]

Some Drunken Pirate, love that name!

Caramel Creme ( quelle surprise! ) and a couple of others that I'll have to check back on Gordy . . . I'm really curious to see if going down the organic route might cure some of the problems that I get.

Could well be worth you trying similar Whufc?

[Karma]

Whufc, i think these natural juices would be worth a try! I'm not really surprised that the doc wasn't more helpful, that just seems to be the way of things in a cash strapped NHS! hope it all works out for you, let us know how you are getting on

Perps, drunken Pirate sounds interesting! What is it? some kind of rum punch?

[Gordy]

Hi mate,

I've just read the thread, so forgive me if i'm late in on the act

I think most of us underestimate the amount of nicotine we're ingesting... I don't believe it's as harmless as what the forums make out. I'm no doctor, but all i can do is let you know what made things improve on the health front for me...

I had no problem at all with 18mg nic juice all day every day for 18 months...I can't do that now. It was making me lazy, irritable, lethargic, light headed, constant headaches. How this didn't happen until after 18 months i've no idea.

I now do nic-free till lunchtime, 6mg afternoons, and 12mg evenings. And have been feeling way better in the last 6 weeks of doing this.

So the amount of nicotine I was ingesting was doing me harm for certain. Your symptoms sound like too much nicotine to me.

good luck
