So, I've been vapping about 3 weeks now. Things that I have noticed:
1. Smell is returning. God, some people really need to shower and use deodorant.
2. Taste is coming back. Not good - lol! Been on the munchies. Taste testing everything in the house.
3. Body chemistry is changing. Never had a problem with B/O, now, I guess because I'm getting rid of toxins, I smell "chemically".
4. Hair is oilier - like when I was a teen.
5. Metabolism is changing. I used to be a little on the warm side, but lately, I'm flipping freezing. Can't seem to stay warm.
The following is TMI - but I'm writing it in case there is another woman out there that might experience the same things.
After the birth of my son, I entered pre-menopausal state. U know, hot flashes, reduced menses, etc. When I started vapping, I had a menses. It had been 8 months since I had one. This time, it was for 2 weeks of heavy bleeding. Very unusual for me.
I have also noticed that I'm not sleepy. That's even after taking my sleep medications. I'm up until 3a.m. farting around. When I do sleep, it is a deep sleep. I just read where there are other people who are experiencing the same thing.
What concerns me, and is causing me panic, is that I may not be able to vape.
I have Bi-Polar disorder, severe, chronic.
I've been pretty stable over the last 7 years. Within the past year, I've been able to lower the doseage of medications and am at the lowest doseage of meds than I've ever been in my life.
Sleep is the biggest factor in my illness. Too little sleep and I go manic, then into massive depression.
I see the doc on Dec. 16th, will have to discuss this and see what happens. I'm praying that everything will work out.
Even though I still smoke about 3 analogs a day, I can't go back to analogs full time. I just can't. xxxx.
Ok, time to do some research on the effects of nicotine and bi-polar as well as high blood pressure.
Why can't things just go smoothly?
