Phew........I`ve not really been here for quite a while........a lot of stuff going on.......you know how it is.......
Actually, I did pop by last week........posted a thread then deleted it.......I wasn`t making myself clear in the post, because my head isn`t exactly clear on what is next, you know??........... I would like to update you all on where I`m at, but.........later.........I`m at the stage of overhauling my entire life........yes........it`s that huge.
Well, I`ve still got a firm grip on the basics for me.........am still content being AF and have been a non smoker for all of 33 days now, so.........the foundations of my new life are solid.
Anyway, I`ve paid dearly for quitting smoking.........has caused me to be ill. I developed an infection in my mouth this week from chewing the nicotine gum........doc gave me antibiotics........had to return to doc on Tues morning.........had a squeezing sensation in my chest and was alternating between being chilled and feverish. Doc said my blood pressure was low and she gave me another course of pills to take to see if perhaps it was just the antibiotic causing gas in my stomach. THEN she touched my wrist as I was leaving the surgery and told me to call an ambulance if I began to feel worse or I was worried about myself.........WTF??? Well, I can assure you I have all but wrapped myself up in cotton wool these past few days and am taking things easy for a while. I never experienced anything like this when I drank like a fish and smoked like a chimney!!!! :H
Anyway, am still off the fags and am now on the weaker 2 mg nicoting lozenge........is yummy........just like a nice fresh mint.
So, that`s my update for now.
Happy New Year to you all.
