Damaged throat, explain later

Feel better soon, Rick. I wish I had some insite for you - but I don't. 4 months in, and the only sore throat I had was a minor one when I started...

Get yourself to a Doc, and take care of you!

 

Wow Rick!!......I have had some throat irratation from excessive menthol use,but never anything like that before....Keep us informed on what the Doc says ok??The Wiz!

 

Nothing like this, I had some throat pain in the beginning but it pass in a few days.
Hope all is well my friend.
KEEP US INFORMED!

 

Wow!! sorry to hear that Rick...
I've seen a few threads here and on other forums about sore throats. Maybe one of those might offer some insight. Have you tried plugging "Sore Throat" into Search? the down side is that most of those seemed to be noobies.
Get better soon!!

 

I'm wishing you a speedy recovery, my friend. Never had a sore throat except the one most of us seem to get at the beginning.

 

Hello dear sweet forum hubby of mine. So sorry to hear about your throat. Hope you are not allergic to something in that juice. Also hope your Doc can help you. If you have a tightening feeling in your throat get to medical help asap. That is not good. Have some warm tea and honey in the meantime. That should help you feel better till you see the doc. Like everyone else said, keep us posted.

 

Now, Jo - you weren't too hard on the old forum hubby, were you???

some of them flying sparks? I told you to use the rubber sheets!

 

Sending you a great big cyberhug, Rick - we all love you, man!
Sending on all my prayers for you, too.

And now, some sage wisdom from one who used to live with an asthmatic...
When you wake up in the middle of the night struggling to breathe - try shallow breaths in from the nose - and above all, try not to panic - that only constricts your airways and makes the problem worse. Listen to your Doctor, and be open and honest with him on everything going on in your life - the smallest thing could be what's setting you off...

Come back to us when you're able, and take care of you, first and formost.... Emerald will light their candles in the windows for you....

Great big loves - Vicks

 

Oh, Rick, this is such terrible news! I HATE the thought of you going back to the stinky sticks.

If you determine that you can't vape anymore, maybe you could sell all your e-cig stuff and use the $ to buy an i-inhale/iolite. You can use it to vaporize tobacco instead of smoking tobacco. It's supposed to be soooooo much better for you than smoking.

I'm hoping that this isn't a reaction to the vaping, though. It's just possible that you're sick and the vapor has exacerbated the problem.

I'm crossing my fingers.

 

Rick.......You have all the luck in the world my friend...and it's all Bad!! If it's the VG giving you the problems...try going to PG when things settle down...possibly a solution there? Hate to hear that your going back to analogs...so don't!!...I would recommend using the patch or something before doing that!...Will say one or two for you in the meantime...Keep us informed ok?The Wiz!

 

+1...... Yeah... what he said.

 

Oh my dear Hubby. This is indeed bad news. Like everyone else, I hate to see you go back to the real deals. Try using the patch till you get the results back from your ultrasound. Docs have been known to be wrong once in a while. I certainly hope you will still keep coming here so we can enjoy your company, no matter what you decide to do. And please do keep us updated. Try propping yourself up with a few extra pillows to sleep and see if that helps. Also, talk to your doc about a CPAP machine. That would help you sleep much better. Take care, Ricky. You have friends that care.

 

Rick, I just read this and am so sorry to hear. This is awful!! Please keep us posted.

 

I am just now seeing this! I am so sorry, Rick! Take care of yourself and keep us posted!!! XO

Hw long have you been vaping?

 

Wish I lived closer . . . I'd loan you my i-Inhale to see if you even liked it. It's a nice piece of equipment, but it does take some getting used to. I primarily got it as my ultimate insurance when I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, worrying that the U.S. government was going to shut down e-cigs, and I'd run out of atomizers, and I'd be cold and hungry out on the streets. Well, I guess I'm getting a bit overly dramatic, but you get the idea.

Anyway, while I don't really like it as my main vape, I have to say that I really do enjoy it. I have to basically use very low nicotine in it because it's got a strong hit with the liquids. I've vaped some of the molasses, and it's okay but no real hit unless I add a wee bit of e-liquid to it. I haven't tried it with tobacco because the last thing I want is to get back on that train again, even if it's in the caboose.

Anyway, I'd hate to see you spend a pile of money on it only to find that you really don't like it. Is there anyone nearby who has one and would let you try it?

Crossing my fingers for good news from the doctor.

 

Julie.....You are a kind soul!...My insurance policy is my Nicotrol Inhaler which I am still holding on to...Just in case!! The darn thing helped me get off analogs before I discovered e-cigs. I hope I wont have to use it again..but I do have it put away for safe-keeping. I wish our "Prince" would ask his doctor for a script before going back to analogs..as I still see this as a much healthier alternative...and one that actually works!The Wiz!

 

Wiz that is a good idea for the doc to prescribe that inhaler thing. Have you thought of that Ricky? It might help.

Don't cry sweetie. That makes your throat tighten even more. Just hang in there till you get the full diagnosis and then deal with it one day at a time. Could be you just need to get off everything for a while and let your throat heal. I know it will be tough, but if it helps you breathe better, you just might have to do it. Keep us posted.
