Sooooproud of you. I gave it up to, it is very hard. But once you put your mind to it your half way there. It has been a couple of years for me and I can't stand the smell of smoke . I can always tell a person that smokes now. It is like smelling perfume when you stand next to someone. Boy am I glad I don't smoke any more. You go girl.

Close Graves' Disease
I was diagnosed with Graves in July 2007. I have since got my thyroid under control with Tapazol yet my eyes have not been cooperating. I had radiation on my eyes in early Dec o7 and I am eagerly awaiting results. I just want to hide from the world until I can find normalcy so since I know this is not healthy, I am seeking out others for support.
Treatments
- Tapazole Somewhat Helpful
Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery
I have smoked for close to 20 yrs(minus the 3yrs I quit before)its been a demon that haunts me everyday. I am a closet smoker, I am ashamed of my habit. I tried to quit with chantix and almost succeeded until I was diagnosed with Graves disease and quiting smoking was the last thing I wanted to do at that point. Smoking makes my disease worse so I plan to try again cold turkey. I am looking for support and encouragment to get started again soon...maybe...the tought terrifys me! Yikes!
Treatments
- Chantix Working / Worked
- was very effective but I stopped using it before I actually quit. It made me forget to smoke!
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- I used this 6 yrs ago and quit for 3yrs. Very hard but its the fastest way.
- Nicotine Patch Not Working
- tried in the past..could not get correct dose so I was always either jittery or nicken.
- Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
- tried it but did not like the dizzy spells.
- Willpower Not Working
- Whats that?
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I have Graves disease and as a treatment plan I was put on steroids for a year. During that time I gained 30lbs which I am struggling to get rid of.
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Not Working
- did this 3yrs ago before WW and did not lose at all.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Using the WII Fit, having a blast while connecting with my kids at the same time.
- South Beach Diet Not Working
- boring........
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- lost 30 lbs on WW 3 yrs ago so I am doing it again!
