Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery
I have smoked for many years, I've quit several times and always went back, unfortunatley I enjoyed smoking. I have recently quit again it's been 5 months and I could light one up right nowand enjoy it. I really had to quit, I had a stroke 3 years ago and have mild emphasema. Will I continue to be smoke free? I don't know, it's hard when people around you smoke. I inhale deeply when I smell it. I keep telling myself "you can have one if you want one"if you tell yourself no, you'll want it more.
Treatments
- Chantix Working / Worked
- I only took the 1st month to get over the hump, haven't smoked in 5 months
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- it was hard but worked I started smoking after 6 months
- Nicotine Gum Not Working
- this gum sucked, it gave me a lump in my throat
- Nicotine Patch Not Working
- I got violent on the patch...not good
- Smoking Cessation Class Not Working
- Tried the Mad Russian, he's a fruitcake, I lit up when I left him
- Wellbutrin Not Working

Close Stroke
It was a week after my 42nd birthday, I woke up inthe morning and couldn't speak correctly, I would think of what I wanted to say but maybe one word would come out and wouldn't make sense. When I drank water it dribbled out and my left hand didn't work right. My mouth hung open, I had no control over it. My boyfriend told me I looked like I had a stroke, but did that alarm me? no...I got up took a shower and kept looking at myself in the mirror. I finally went to the hospital.
Treatments
Open Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in Jan.'08. I was kinda relieved and actually happy it was Fibro. I guess I was glad it wasn't anything terminal like cancer. I've had migraines all my life and had a stroke on Oct.2004, they think it may have been migraine related but they can't tell me for sure. The Fibro adds to my headaches, which scares me because I don't want to have another stroke. So I am hoping to meet some great people in this group so we can talk about Fibromyalgia.
Treatments
- Elavil Not Working
- I slept good the first couple nights taking this, but I gained a lot of weight.
- Guaifenesin Somewhat Helpful
- I took Robitussin because I had a cold and I noticed w/ibuprofen it eased my pain a little.
- Neurontin Too Soon to Tell
- I was on this before I knew I had Fibro, I remember thinking how relaxed my body felt and not much pain. So I asked to be put on it again but the Dr. only wants me to take 300mg @ night, I'm not feeling it yet.
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
- I didn't know this was used for Fibro. I was on it because my levels were low. I'm gonna start taking it again and see if there is a difference, I was on 1000mcg
- Zanaflex Somewhat Helpful
- I was put on this after I had a stroke in Oct. '04 because of migraines, it eased the tension in my neck causing headaches. I don't take it 3x a day like I was I usually take it at night and if I need it during the day. I do get groggy taking it.
Open Menopause
