Thanks for the replies everyone and some great information Kayta! I was diagnosed with COPD back in late 2012. After tons of tests & different medications, I was finally doing okay...not great, but okay. About 6 weeks or so ago, my breathing suddenly got pretty bad again, like I was back to where I was several years ago. I spent Christmas Eve getting a cat scan to see if I had a pulmonary embolism. Thankfully I didn't, but my pulmonary doctor did see that I have severe emphysema. She said I must be genetically susceptible to this, since I am pretty young to have it so severely. So after some trial & error, I am currently on a low dose of predesone and trying a new to the market inhaler. Unfortunately I spent all of last night jumping out of bed every hour or two with severe leg & foot cramps, being caused by one or the two new meds...such fun, right?
I have vapes 50/50 since 2012.....used 100% VG from 2010 until 2012, but as a lot of folks find, that much VG caused so much lung heaviness. My dilemma comes in that too much PG will also cause my legs to cramp, so finding a happy medium for my lungs & my legs is so frustrating. I know the best solution would be for me to stop
vaping also, but I just don't think I'm at a point in my life right now where I could do that & not go back to smoking. Too much of a very stressful situation currently & guess I'm not strong enough to battle both things at once.
Anyways, sorry for the book and thanks for making me comfortable enough to share all this with you guys...the Ahlusion group will always feel like home to me!
ETA: I vape at 12 watts and 1.8ohm Nautilus cotton
coils in Kabuki
tanks. No sub ohming for me & no deep inhaling, but I do inhale. Will definitely try your suggestion to not inhale as much as possible @Kayta.
