Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Dear , loved the jokes! Yea know I've known several people including a dear cousin who quit smoking and all of a sudden got these problems. My cousin quit 5 years ago and now his kidneys are failing, he's on chemo and going to several doctors including Mayo. I wonder if you start smoking young your body just gets used to it and adjusts then you quit and causes a shock to the system. Just my opinion. Love ya...Sue M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Hi You, well where do I start. The left ear is pugged and can't hear much. The right ear which has been peiferataed for years is hurting so I'm kind of " spacy. " Well not kind of but totally. My dermatitis on legs and feet just won't get better. I feel very ugly and scared up. I have either Cronhs or irirated bowel sydrom. Taking Pepto or Imodium sometimes Sleep is not good unless I take Tylenol PM. Going to have to deal with all this next week but without insurance I put it off as long as possible. Thank you for askin....Sue M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may sound really strange, but what got me to quit was the commercial on TV where the baby walks right through the grandpa because he was really dead. I just couldn't do that to my grandchildren. Now why did I do it to my children??? Well, the past is the past and I will continue on just one day at a time.

(I had my first cigarette on my 5th birthday - a friend of my fathers thought it would put us all off for life!!!; I finally quit in 1985 age 42; and THEN I started getting breathing problems, however deep in my heart I know if I had still been smoking when I was admitted to hospital in 1988, I might not have made it!!! Goodness knows it is not easy to stop, but it is one of the best things you can do for your health!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 Hi Everyone :-) As long as we're talking about smoking, I had to add my two cents. Since I came down with these " lovely " diseases I have been sooooo sensitive to cigarette smoke, many perfumes, and just about anything else with an odor, both good and bad. These things go directly to my cough sensor and send me into coughing fits/bronchospasms. For my hospital stay I had my doctor actually put on my chart that I could not be around anyone wearing perfumes, including nurses, or anyone who smoked any time during the day, as even though they were not smoking around me just the smoke on their clothes would send me coughing. So.....for all of us out here who can't handle smoke....please try to quit :-) but mainly for the sake of your own health. You will be glad you did. I hope to see everyone at the next RP reunion in Oregon (next year??) and hopefully we'll all be smoke-free by then. Can we do it? (end of soap-box.....I love you guys!!)
