Guest guest Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Krista, I was afraid that you would say that it was irreversible. Yet again it is just a theory. My doctor said that I didn't do nothing to cause it but I need an outlet to blame. It was just God's way of taking care of things. Who knows, if our babies would have lived they might have endured a lifetime of pain. Nora Smoking >Nora, > >I have read quite extensively on smoking. I smoked from the time I was 15 >(eek)!

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 I smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day, at least, since I was around 15. I was able to quit about 4 yrs. ago, after my husband had pneumonia, and was afraid to continue smoking. He did the patch and the gum, sometimes together! I quit cold turkey. I have had a couple relapses, but only a one night binge deal while out with friends. Since my diagnosis, and all those pulmonary tests they ran, I have had no desire to smoke, and the thought of it is somewhat nauseating. My husband stills has relapses, in fact, he just finished a 4-day long smoke-fest in Las Vegas. Oh well, if you can't be bad there, I guess you can't be bad anywhere!

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 Since I have never smoked, it obviously hasn't had any influence on my PLS onset (4 years ago), or my progress (fairly rapid). However, I was exposed to a lot of second hand smoke when I was a child. Lyndal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2000 Report Share Posted July 7, 2000 I am an ex-smoker. I was a very heavy smoker (number, not weight). I quit in 1979 and my first noticable PLS symptoms appeared in 1996. Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
