Avatar f tn As Dr. Fazio states, for the sake of your eyesight it is critical that you stop smoking, but not because of the danger from cigarette ash. There are a LOT of patients on these boards who would be glad to have their eyesight back, but can't do anything about it. In your case, you don't already have eye disease. Smoking cigarettes can harm your vision in many ways. In case you are not familiar with these, please read the following: http://www.allaboutvision.

Avatar n tn I varies it is effort driven test and I got a large asthma component, but if you have example a fev1 of 50% I would say a 100 years old if nothing else gets you first, stroke, heart attack, lung cancer ,etc. Life is a **** shoot. Google COPD Message boards. Good luck. Live don't let COPD run your life. I refuse to live that way .Just take my shot of Advair and away I run. Slower than before though.

7773990 tn?1400728625 I want to say there is more nicotine in an e cgis but not certain. Just try to wien yourself off. When my mother in law attemoed to stop smoking I always saw her with an unlit cigarette in her mouth that she would puff on. It seemed to work for her. I'm sure it's still not good for you but better than actually inhaling the smoke. Hope this help, good luck. You can do it!!

Avatar m tn Hi, I quit smoking cold turkey last November after reading a book called Allen Carr's Easyway to quit smoking. It was the final thing that pushed me over the edge to finally quit. The book is great, and it lets you smoke while you read it. It deals with the mental aspect of nicotine addiction, because believe it or not, the physical isn't really the problem, even though it feels like it. Anyways, before I read that book, I had tried quitting at least 30 times, no joke.
Avatar f tn I'm new to this app and I just realized there were message boards.. I'm wondering if the boards are designed to go By your weeks or age? Sorry If I sound like an idiot but I was just checking..

Avatar f tn t see Lyme as a truly serious illness may try to cause trouble for MDs who *do* take Lyme very seriously, and the result could be problems for the Lyme docs with the state medical boards. (The medical boards tend to hold to the old belief that Lyme is no big deal.) Over time, the medical profession will work itself out, but for now, please do NOT post names of any MDs here, in order to protect them.
Avatar f tn My doctor actually advised me not to quit cold turkey because I smoke so much before, however I have cut back & there really is nothing that will replace a cigarette the closest thing I can suggest is the "preggy pops" or just normal suckers, they help with naseua as well as the mouth fixation, which most of the time is all smoking amounts to.
Avatar f tn I AM DESPERATE FOR HELP!! I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY MIND...I NEED ADVICE OR SUGGESTIONS ON WAYS TO CONTROL MY THINKING - TO STOP BEING SO FOCUSED ON MY HEALTH. I'M A PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING HYPOCHONDRIAC AND I CAN'T TAKE IT!! I FEEL GUILTY FOR BEING SO SELF-CENTERED. I WAS WOKE UP BY A PAIN IN MY HEAD WHICH PROMPTED AN ANXIETY ATTACK AND A FEAR OF GOING BACK TO SLEEP.
Avatar f tn Yes ut can affect baby by cutting off oxygen which can cause deformities, brain damage, and puts you at an extreme risk for preterm labor (can be as early as 30wks). Baby can get jaundice from smoking mothers, and have breathing problems. Some babys end up in NICU care for as much as 3 months after birth. Those are just a few risks to baby. You are putting yourself at risk for preeclampsia (high blood pressure). Thats the only risk I can think of right now to you, it mostly could harm your baby.
13297908 tn?1429346659 I think I have replied this message. This smoking has nothing to do with your reaction in the sexual activity. It is your mental response to act of smoking. I think this should go away eventually. If you want to strengthen you sexual stamina, you may do male deer exercise, kegel exercise and sat kriya. Google these words and do them regularly. they have other health benefit as well. Try to concentrate on your breath( nose).
Avatar f tn Alright, I just found someone I can quit with :-) That is of course if you want to quit with me. I am cutting down......well, I will do it better with someone to cut down with. Anyways, I have some tips/techniques and other things to help with panic and anxiety. Feel free to message me if you are interested. Any way you choose to go is great, because it's going somewhere good.
Avatar f tn I started getting ready to stop smoking about 5yrs ago. I decided not to smoke in my car anymore. I suffer from anxiety, so I'm never away from the house for more than 2hrs max and I figured I could at LEAST go without a cigarette that long. At the time, I felt like this alone was an enormous accomplishment and it helped me to start thinking like a non-smoker, I had been a smoker for 33yrs before I quit last July.
Avatar m tn But, let me emphasis, that it is in a small number of patients. As always, check with your doctor. Anything you read on message boards is not the same as from a well qualified Dr.

Avatar n tn Check out the message boards on these 2 websites for CPAP related questions. The boards here are very active. I think I've read this problem on those boards before. www.cpaptalk.com www.apneasupport.
Avatar f tn I have been smoking for over two years, and im about two or more weeks pregnant now.. i have heard that its bad to smoke during pregnancy, but also that its worse to quit cause theres nicotine in your body and the baby could go through withdrawls. im not sure what i should do?
Avatar m tn Oh, one other thing.......I would try to cut down and then stop smoking completely. I've heard that can also be a trigger, plus it does you no good anyway! I loved drinking a few beers with my friends on the weekend but I haven't even been tempted to do so since I started having my PACS....
Avatar m tn t believe in Lyme as anything serious are out to stop Lyme docs from practicing. As a result, the medical boards in too many states will try to take the medical license from a doc who treats Lyme with more than a couple weeks of doxy and a hearty handshake. Thus the discretion here. Yes, these docs who help us are not unknown in their local areas already, but no point in adding fuel to the fire. We need these docs up and practicing!
Avatar f tn Hi..I wanted to know if I'm the only one or what I should do....I stop smoking when I found out I was pregnant. ..but I'm 26 weeks now n all I can think about is having a smoke...my bf smokes not inside but I still smell it off his clothes n if I go to a bbq at a family member house I have second hand smoke. ..I try n walk a way cus I know its bad to breath that in...all I think about is having one I'm craving it...what should I do ?

595141 tn?1239971814 Hi I quit smoking 6 weeks ago. I had smoked for 9 years (yes i was a young starter) When I tried to quit before I found it really difficult coz it felt like I was missing out on something (if that makes sense?) then a friend told me about this book called Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Be a Happy Non-smoker for the Rest of Your Life. I read it and that really helped me. Its hard to explian but if you read it with an open mind it will work.
