    At what point did you quit analogs while vaping?

    I was sucking lozenges for 6 weeks before I almost caved in and started analogs again. In fact I did have one and then cried and cried because this is life or death to me. When I first got my e-cig I couldn't use it very well. Every e-toke choked me bad. Shortly thereafter I ended up in the...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    Yes - this forum is awesome. Happy New Year everyone. Today I start a low-carb diet again. Hi Dee! I was confused about D3 being D, too. Checked the label and Lo and Behold my hubby has been feeding me D3 for awhile now :) Good hubby! Thanks ladyraj! Katmar - thanks for the support and...

    2nd & 3rd Public Vaping Experience

    This isn't exactly public, but I took it out at Christmas dinner at my sisters house. I had several people try it. All were amazed. Two of people who tried it don't even smoke (I think - they may be closet smokers around us old folks). The person who needs to try it the most, my dad, wouldn't...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    Well, that settles it. I'm getting some. Well, yes, if you wouldn't mind providing a link or 2 to something to read that I might be able to understand and that you find accurate, that would be greatly appreciated. Do you know any of the other patients in the study? Is D3 helping people who...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    Answered before I asked. Does D3 make you psychic too? Ok, I am going to read up on it and then probably get some, perhaps right away, without knowing my starting level. Any chance you started losing weight, too? hehe

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    Wow! That is GREAT Martha. I sure hope I get to quit the meds soon. Truth is, right now, while I am transitioning and trying inhaling new things, I would be afraid to not take them and I have a months worth anyway haha. If I feel real good next month, I will broach the subject with my DR, right...

    Valkerie, Katmar and Raven1 LOL - Ok, Ok! I will tell my Dr on my next appt. in one month! Is the D3 test a blood test? I might be able to get it added to the one I am to take before my next appt.

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    LOL - be sure to provide the update to that one. Mine are so old I don't dare do anything but throw them out. I once stuck on a very expired nicotine patch and boy did I ever get a reaction. @Joker = Thanks!

    Katmar I'm going to study up on the D3. I have never heard of it. & six months! I like the sound of that. Thanks for the kind words of support and encouragement. Martha1014 - I know how you feel. I have done that too when I almost died of pneumonia. It was the first thing I did. It was one of...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    I'm sorry. I overlooked your post. I plan to stay in this thread and truly hope the rest of us will, too. You are right. Where else can a person go to learn these things, if not right here. There really is nowhere else. There are some good success stories in here already. I would like to...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    Yep, I would do well to remember that I have some bad days, too. Usually after a really good one. Why do I always put the peddle to the metal? When I feel good I tend to over do it and then pay for it. If I could moderate better I might not have this illness. But yeah - I am far from cured, but...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    Yeah, forgot about those - I tried that when I lived in Canada and they were over the counter. More fail, more doom!! So glad you are hanging in and cancer free! This is just me being nosey, but did you go from analog to e-cig or from NRT to e-cig?

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    Well, we can do this journey together :) I sure hope you continue to improve and notice more progress as time goes on. After feeling guilty for over a week, I think I just realized how thankful I can be that I have those 6 wks of lozenges only under my belt. I have a much improved starting point...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    Now that's encouraging! I am on the same meds plus singulair and to tell you the truth I had gone off them before I had my "attack" because I don't have insurance and it is $600 a month worth of drugs. I am on them now and I don't think I will quit this time until my Dr says I can. Thankfully...

    ZambucaLu, the link was there for me. You are right - there are some good discussions there. I don't know how I mangled my search to miss them, but thank you. All-in-all it is not very encouraging, is it? I am going to contact a couple of the posters and see how they are doing now. The...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    I am not sure if the e-cig will be a good choice for me but I am going to chronicle my experience for the next person who does a search and can’t find very many people discussing their COPD and whether or not e-cigs is a viable alternative to smoking for someone who waited way too long to quit...
