1- Dandruff and dry hair. I had my last cigarette on the 2nd. (Started vaping beginning of march). Two days after last cigarette .. major itchy scalp.. i scratched and it looked like snow falling out of my head! My hair has become really dry as well. I dye it because.. hell.. I'm getting older.. but never has it been this dry.
2- PMS
I've always had the typical mood swings associated with PMS.. but this last one since finally quitting was brutal.. weeping.. acting like a complete ahole.. i even yelled at my boss! I'm lucky she's cool bc i deserved to get fired for my outburst.
And the most embarrassing ..to me.. ba da dum...
3- constipation .. sweet mother .. i won't get into details lol
I always have had plenty of fluid intake.. so i don't know if i should increase it or if this is my body ridding itself of the toxins in cigs..
Anyone else experienced these issues?
I have to have my morning coffee :/ i just.. ugh.. I'm not ready to give it up.. and yes.. I'm 38.. lord not the M word.. I'm not ready.. waaahh! LolHey, I see most of your issues have all ready been addressed & hopefully some of these ideas will helpI was going to ask what else you were drinking besides water ... as we know caffinated beverages add to the dehydration issue, unfortunately coffee, tea, soda's etc...
If you are a tea drinker I highly reccommend Rooibos tea (maybe better known as Red Bush Tea), it has no caffine (why can't I spell that word right???) As for the pms - are you in your later 30's? cause if you are you might just be getting ready for peri-menopause ....if so Oh what fun you're gonna have! On number 3 ... well I had the opposite problem for years so it's actually helped me in that area

Have seen the thread about gas and vapors OMG I laughed so hard my ribs hurt by the time I finished that oneHey skyz! I went through the dry scalp & my face was extremely dry too for a couple of weeks! I tried to drink as much water as I could but it still continued for a couple of weeks. I started doing deep conditioners & using an extra moisturizing cream at night before bed time. I thought that it might be related but I wasn't sure. The other thing that I had was...ok I'm just gonna say it...was gas!!! Major major major gas!! I felt like a walking hot air balloon!!
Hope these issues are clearing up for you!
Been there done all of that and then someYour body goes through all sorts of fun changes when you stop smoking regular ciggs. I quit smoking for the 50th time 6 months ago and started vaping a month ago. Well for those 5 months, I was a giant jerk to everyone. I drove too fast, got into it with other drivers, slept weird or didnt sleep, and was just really tense. I work in a high energy social services job where a LOT of people rely on me and are after me all day, so I snapped a lot and always felt bad. I realized I wasnt happy, so I tried a cigg. It was disgusting and I realized it was no longer an option for me, but I couldn't go on being so rude and mad all the time. I picked up vaping and I am so happy. Its one of those rare instances in life where you can have your cake and vape it too, so I am pretty pleased. That being said, I did suffer some less than desirable physical effects the first few months of quitting smoking. You may have traded ciggs for vaping, but you still have to wait through the withdrawal and physiological changes from the other 4000 chemicals you were addicted to. This will show in your hair, digestive system, skin, moods, and emotional health. At least with the nicotine still present in vaping, you wont have it as bad as those who stop nicotine all together. Analog cigarettes have SO many things in them your body has gotten used to, so give it and you sometime to level out. It takes longer than people think. My scalp was super dry at first and my skin looked dull and lifeless. I told you about my mood, and I wont go into the digestive issues, but I am glad I live alone, lol. Hang in there and congrats on quitting those nasty ciggs.
Look on the bright side, you have more reading time now. Invest in a Lazybowl 2000 toilet - you can recline, relax, read, poop and get a massage all at the same time. That's what I did long ago. Once I put a tv in the bathroom, my world was complete (I have very small goals and dreams)
