Re: smoking and getting sick-

June 26, 2006

I'm sorry you can't enjoy the benefits most of us share after quitting. It

really is a blessing for most of us. In your case, your body may have become

dependent on a/some chemicals and cannot do without it. It's the same as

some who have severe reactions to some meds and others never notice it. I

hate to plant the seed of doubt, but I wonder if trying a nicotine patch for

a month to see if it might make a difference. I've chosen it as a thought

because it's the easiest to add back into your system and hopefully take

away again. A friend of mine tried numerous times to quit smoking and always

ended up with severe headaches. As long as she smoked, her head was ok but

the rest of her was suffering. She tried everything, pills, gum, hypnosis,

etc, but none of it worked. Her body just wouldn't turn loose of cigarettes.

Maybe your overall problem is like that, no matter what the medical

community and general logic says. My hopes for a good future for you,

Dennis
