Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Greg, Congrats, getting off the nicotine will be so much better for your body, and you are just about there, that's great. And getting off Pred. I always say I have a hate/love relationship with Pred. I was on it for over 5 years, and hated it, but there are times, that I still get a 3 day IV dose, and happy to get it. But I hope I never have to do long term on it again. You will feel so much better. I've never tried Humaria, but I am doing really well on the Remicade so far. I got an email today from " our representative " for the Insurance company and she said we just need to call in and get prior authorization each time, that stinks, I asked her to look into the one year authorization, like I had this past year? We'll see. Good luck Greg, you will be feeling so good, so soon. Marla Today is the end of 6 weeks no nicotine. I now have detoxed 90% of the nicotine from my body. The Doctors are working to get me off Pred and onto Remicade or Humaria. I think I will be happier with either. Pain Free Loving Days for All.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Congratulations Greg. I quit cold turkey many years ago. I smoked 3 packs a day. It was killing me. My spouse quit the scoal habit 9 years ago. I know the hard time it took. Proud of you and welcome to the quitters.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 My habit whose 1 to 2 cans of copenhagen a day. I did copenhagen for almost 30 years. I have been trying to quit for 5 years due to cost at first the health later, When I started dipping a can costed $0.35 cents now they cost $5.00 to $6.00. I found a way to wean off and quit copenhagen. I will share it with anyone who really wants to quit. Seeing my daughter graduate college and she her marry a good guy (or the redneck Texan combat vet will appear) and for possible grandkids. For these are the reasons a I quit. 'Cuz I want to see these things. So find a good reason that will tear at your daughters Hearts to quit. and make them beleive they discovered the reason.. Good luck on it girl.
