I have been trying to quit, and did for a few days, then fell of the smoking wagon.  It is extremely difficult, because smoking is something I do when I have migraines or FMS pain, as a distraction, too allieve the fustration of pain, pain that is not going away.  I know it needs to be done, but when I am already so unhealthy, I always never cared that I was doing something that was unhealthy... but now it is a specific problem with smoking.  But I just cannot do it, I can do it a little, but not all the way.  It is driving me nuts. 

 

Plus I got a promotion, thown into the role unprepared, and expected to just do it, when I do not have the full grasp of the subject matter yet.  And this is stressful, it is causing more migraine and aches and pains and stress.  Which makes me what a smoke to calm myself down.

Concerning the migraine angle- I quit smoking 9 months ago and havn't had a migraine since.  I had really bad migraines lasting up to three days for years.

Hi Myth,

 

This is Krystle, producer for MyAsthmaCentral.com. I hope things are going well in your quest to quit cigarettes! In the meantime, I wanted to let you know about a new site we launched to help smokers quit. Check it out here.

Hi Myth,

 

Quitting smoking can be the hardest thing to try to do. I know from personal experience when my significant other tried, it was darned near impossible!! He was able to quit after smoking for 40 years, with the help of Wellbutrin. Check with your doctor to see if that might help you. You take wellbutrin for 2 weeks while you continue to smoke like normal. Then you quit cold turkey, but you continue to take the wellbutrin for 2 more weeks. It replaces the nicotine in your body making the cravings and withdrawl less difficult.

 

Also, check out the site Krystle mentioned in her posting. It is located here. There is much good information there to help you ask all the right questions of your doctor.

Hope this helps a little. Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
