Avatar m tn Hello, My wife has small fiber neuropathy and had been in pain like most. This past weekend she had extreme pain and after 10 years of not smoking she started again. She told me that it takes her pain away better than any medication she is on. I research this a little and found that nicotine will actually cause the SFN to get worse and stop any of here meds that the doctors gave here to work correctly. I need help.
Avatar m tn If I were you I would stock up on a lot of gum with sugar and a lot of carrots. Drink plenty of water and exercise. If all else fails then get one of those nicotene inhalers or if you have the funds available to you go see a hypnotist. P.S. my room mate quit taking Chantix and is still smoking.

Avatar m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
Avatar f tn How do you stop thinking about all the negative things that go through your mind I have a depression problem since i was little I've never seen anyone about it or told doctors.or family about it. But I used to smoke nd it did help. I've smoked twice now since I've found out im pregnant but I don't want to keep running to that. I have negative thoughts running through my mind right now nd I'm crying like crazy nd I can't stop.
Avatar n tn However, the stress levels of adult smokers are slightly higher than those of nonsmokers, adolescent smokers report increasing levels of stress as they develop regular patterns of smoking, and smoking cessation leads to reduced stress. Far from acting as an aid for mood control, nicotine dependency seems to exacerbate stress". The above statement is absolutely true! It is the smoker who labels their addiction to cigarettes as a "stress reliever.
Avatar f tn What are the side effects of smoking when pregnant? Did any of u girls smoke when u were pregnant? I'm 16 weeks and trying to quit but it a lot harder than I thought .
Avatar n tn i also have alot of random thoughts and alot of things remind me of people usual they just pop into my head. im trying to figure out whats going on and if it will just go away?
Avatar m tn You are not going to do permanent damage to your brain from a couple nights of drinking and smoking pot. I don't mean to encourage doing things that have some risk of creating dependency, but the actions of cannabis are temporary-- as are most of the effects of alcohol-- provided you aren't drinking to the point of alcohol toxicity (for example, drinking so much that you pass out, repeatedly).
Avatar n tn The severity of the difference would also be dependant on the length of your Herceptin treatment. Oncologists monitor these side effects very closely and I'm sure your Onc. will take this into consideration and discuss the risks of continuing your treatment. The longer the treatment the less the incidence of heart damage but each case is different. Regards ....
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with arrythmia last may, i stopped smoking 18 years before, i have always had an active life style running marathons and half marthons etc. Could the smoking have contributed to the illness i am a 55year old male.
Avatar m tn i am 28 male, and just recently 2 week ago started running trying to get back in shape and cutting my smoking habit. have been smoking almost a pack a day now down to 1/2 a pack a day. Ive noticed that since i started running, i get night sweats occasionally. its not a drenching in sweat more like a mild moist sweat. is this normal, has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar m tn An x-ray cannot detect smoke, especially to a light smoker like you. However, the effects of smoking are diagnosed via x-ray, including emphysema and lung cancer. But there is a different case for heavy smokers, as the x ray result shows changes in the interstitial markings referred to as dirty lungs.
Avatar n tn There is not much standardized research done on this due to the illegal nature of marijuana. You can find MANY websites on the effects of cannibis and blood sugar, though and I am surprised you are on this one asking questions. Do you really think someone is gonna get on this site and admit to breaking the law????? Please!
Avatar f tn There are no definitive side effects from weed that we know of BUT I have a few close friends who have smoked their whole pregnancy and multiple pregnancies and their children have birth defects born early and low birth weight so I mean if you wanna chance it then I guess that's up to you but honestly I wouldn't....just because we don't know for sure what kind of effects it has in babies yet doesn't mean there isn't proof around us..
Avatar f tn I have a close friend who has been addicted to marijuana for a long time, she also smoked during her pregnancy and no they did not test her for it when she gave birth. I don't know much on the effects of marijuana use during pregnancy but I strongly suggest that you look into that for the benefit of the baby. I know that she breastfed for quite a while, continuing to pass the drug onto her child. Our sons are the same age and have been friends since infancy.
Avatar f tn I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away! There are times when I would like a cigarette but I care for my unborn baby a million times more than a dirty fag! Honestly the best thing you can do is quit, every time you smoke your babies tiny heartbeat has to beat extremely fast as it struggles for oxygen!
Avatar n tn I thought I wouldnt be able to cope, my wife smokes, and she still smokes to my dismay, her grandmother is sick with COPD and on oxygen, and she still will not even read what I read about the effects of smoking..her grandmother just had to give up after being hospitalized for the umpteenth time... I though I wouldnt be able to, I bought some Nicorette inhaler cartridges, then I decided not to use them as I wanted to clear my body of Nicotine once and for all...
Avatar m tn Symptoms such as fast heart rate associated with other issues like smoking may be present prior intake of this specific medication and can be possibly ruled out. Aside from discontinuing smoking, diet modification and regular exercise also help. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn You cannot subject your body to the effects of smoking and "try and keep fit". This does not make sense.Google smoking and the effects on the cardiovascular system. I have never smoked, cannot be around 2nd or 3rd hand smoke due to a heart ailment that makes my heart ACT like it has a mouth around the exhaust of a car....or a cigarette. Advice: quit smoking.There are plenty of excellent assist aids and programs to help you.Good luck. Joan.
Avatar n tn Marijuana smoke contains some of the same ingredients in tobacco smoke that can cause emphysema and cancer. In addition, many marijuana users also smoke cigarettes; the combined effects of smoking these two substances creates an increased health risk. Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke.
Avatar f tn If you stop smoking, that's the best thing you can do. You are young, you've only smoked a couple of cigarettes and you can reverse the effects if you quit. Good for you for being concerned about it! Be tough and stop smoking now!
Avatar f tn Look up some articles if you want to know the effects of smoking. You don't want to put anything into your body tat isn't good for either of you while you are pregnant. I don't know of any doctors who would encouraged you to continue smoking unless you are stressing out more from not smoking.
