Need Help on Nicotine

[Sloopjohnbee]

could also be mono too. Seriously if you catch mono after a certain age it fucks you up for a long while. And sometimes gets confused for lyme too. But there is soreness g.i. issues tiredness like you can't believe. The tiredness isn't I haven't slept much it's more a vampire got me tired. And it just peters on like that for a while slowly getting better. Honestly it happened to me and it sucked and doctors are just getting up to speed on the fact it effects people like that.

what was the treatment for it?

@wintergarden: have you had your doctor's appointment and full batch of tests yet? I'd like to ask before I start frighte—er, speculating on possibilities.

Be my guest - "I 'aint afraid of no ghost"

I've had several kidney stone episodes about ten years apart, never discernibly related to smoking. I think the first was when I wasn't smoking anything. Because of the array of symptoms you report, you need a good diagnostician. Oddly, this trait doesn't occur in any particular specialty. My wife sees various doctors regularly, but one that has done the most "detective work" on figuring out some of her complaints is a dermatologist, and his diagnosis and sometime's prescriptions have been extremely helpful. In your place, I'd quit smoking, if possible, to get that variable out of the mix. Kidney stones relate to water intake, the more the better, but some beverages, especially tea, seem to promote them. Good luck and increasing good health.

Thanks for this and the well wishes. well could explain it - I started drinking a lot of tea prior to this beginning - and very little water - I was more of an alcohol guy as well - could be stones - I need a good diagnostician

Have you considered anxiety? Sounds crazy, but it was the cause of all of my heart attacks that weren’t heart attacks...it also gave me an ulcer I didn’t really have, and it’s now causing me breathing problems that my healthy lungs don’t actually have hahaha.

Not to mention digestion issues, numbness, fatigue...

If you’re young and healthy and confused about a weird symptom, I’d check anxiety first. It causes all of my health issues ?

Might I make the strangest of suggestions? Read Psalms, write down what you are grateful for every morning and evening, learn how to properly meditate and pray whenever the need or anxiety prompts you to do so. This is, of course, taboo territory; so PM me if you’d like to discuss this more.

Well, what do you know? I was asking about whether @wintergarden had exhausted the clinical pathway because this might be spiritually related. If the tests, auscultations, and anamnesis all yield "no illness", then it's time to start looking beyond the body: the soul.

Doctors? What do they know?

Nowadays, many don't know jack shit. Or pretend not to.

 

[gamzultovah]

Well, what do you know?

Some might say, nothing.

Yeah, by "what do you know" I meant "what a 'coincidence': I too was gonna suggest going on that tack". Sorry, I guess I used the wrong expression.

I support any and all who are ailing. The OP's description is far more complex than anything I would know to say. Get well soon!

No offense taken. Although now I’m wondering about my own outlook by the way I misinterpreted that?

Don't go googling - just firsthand old fashioned experience
As you may or may not know for 3 months I have been experiencing strange and sometime debilitating health issues
I'm relatively young and visited a physician who deemed me 'clean bill of health'
They symptoms have persisted so I've scheduled with a urologist in my difficult town there was a month lead time for appointment but it's approaching
The thing I want to know is have any of you ever experienced withdrawal relating to spasms or pain (musculoskeletal or nerve)
Reason I ask is prior to all of this - mainly pain in my flank and radiating to groin coupled with gastrointestinal issues - feels like what people describe with kidney stones or hernias

Just prior to the start of this - I cut down significantly on smoking
then I altogether quit for two months now(I never planned on qutting as I have in the past twice for 1 year increments) but have never experienced anything like this - Yes cigarettes were tough and caused pain and agony but not this strangely
There's a good chance I have 'lyme disease' whatever big-med deems that these days - but was wondering if any of you had any experience. I was considering lighting up a few bowls just to test the waters, see if it alleviates it. I know nicotine is a very potent drug so coming off is a lot like heroin or alcohol. thanks

Uh, stick with the Doctors and stay away from bringing topics of this sort to us. Even if there is a doc among us, he can do little over a thread. In answer, no I haven’t had what you describe.

It never hurts to ask God for help. ?
Calms the soul.
