Too painfull to vape, hope I have a cold

[LaceyUnderall]

Thank you all for your insight. I have been pounding different herbal teas with some honey for relief. Unfortunately I am more concerned with my bronchial tubes. I had about five analogs yesterday. That is not helping. I have nicotine gum. I don't find it nearly as satisfying, but today that is all I will have (maybe just one or two smokes). I can't believe that no matter how sick I get, I still need my nicotine. I always knew it was crazy and stupid, but writing about it makes me realize it more. I just want to heal so that I can continue on with my destructive ways. The idea of ecigs was to lead a healthier life. I hope that I can resume them. I still believe they can help me in the long run.

ooo... another thought for you... try brewing some tobacco in your tea!

Dissolvables won't actually medicate an inflamed throat -- but they don't irritate it further, either, as smoking and vaping will do. They are an excellent way to obtain nicotine without expense to your throat and lungs.

There is also strep to consider. Lots of things out there that you may not be able to get cleared up by yourself. If it's really bad, not getting better, consider a trip to your doctor or at least to a lab for a strep test. If you call around there are labs where you can get a strep test for like $10-$15.

Definately worth getting tested if things donot improve. Streps no joke and can lead to kidney problems among other things if left alone. I`ve had this once and it was probably the most miserable time of my life. In the mean time manuka honey worked for me to ease things a little. Hope your feeling better soon
