I know this thread is older, but for anyone who wants to quit I highly suggest "The Easy Way To Quit Smoking"...unfortunately I have to take my own advice and read it again.I was certain I would never go back to smoking and then two years later I had a few glasses of wine, a designated driver and a bunch of smoking friends, and I bummed a cigarette....then two. Then I determined I could be a social smoker. That lasted a few months. The rest is history. I'm so pissed at myself. I don't think it matters if you smoke or not as far as getting Morgellon's, but I can say I felt so much better as a non-smoker (once I started synthroid for my thyroid as well) I feel smoking has an impact on one's immune system and that quitting may help fight it better than it can in a smoking body. I could be wrong though....all I know if I felt better than I had in years when I was a non-smoker. I also took vitamin B12 shots so maybe that was key too.
Anyway I did "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" and the patch. Check out the book on Amazon. The ratings for the book are very high and the testimonials are nothing short of amazing. That's what hooked me to buy the book and it did work for me.
I am looking to quit again for a few reasons...number one is my child, I want to be around for him. Number two is the fact that Morgs has eaten enough collagen and whatever else in my face and I already feel I look older , so I need to stop making it worse. On top of it though knowing about this Morgs has made me in turn, smoke more. Its a double edged sword though....last time my thyroid went haywire and I gained 40 lbs. I am horrified of that happening again now that I've lost the weight.  |
