This product is amazing in that I was able to immediately quit using cigarettes.
No problems of any kind for most of the first two days. On the second day, in the late afternoon, I mixed in maybe 20% glycerine from the local brew shop to cut the strong TW (36mg) and into the evening (and moreso late that night) I started having problems with feeling panicky. A little rum didn't help much and I don't have any valium right now. So I crashed out for about 6 hours. When I got up and tried to use the e-cig this morning I promtly had a HUGE MAJOR PANIC ATTACK which I just don't normally get anymore. I majorly restricted my vaping but the panicky state continued throughout the day and into the afternoon when another attack began to loom...
So, I stopped using the e-cig at all about 5 hours ago (meaning I've had to start smoking again) and gradually the panic state has mostly dissipated over this time.
I know that most of you are going to say IT'S TOO MUCH NICOTINE. That may be partly true, but I'm convinced that's not the only issue.
We think I have Fibromyalgia. Naturally, I thought I would be one of the lucky ones who'd have a problem with the PG because of this if not skin allergies on top of that.
The first thing I did is to Google lactic acid and panic disorder and here's some basic findings:
Studies have shown that high accumulations of lactic acid in the body can increase anxiety and cause panic attacks.
Another study seems to confirm a metabolic hypothesis: excess lactic acid is caused by an underlying defect in an individual's metabolism, suggesting that people with panic disorder have an abnormality in how they produce or clear lactic acid in the brain.
This may give me some new insight into my health problem, but it is confounding.
The PG would seem to be a likely candidate. It could be reasoned that it was all just building up in my system for a couple of days. Nevertheless, there also appeared to be a direct correlation with the use of the (now contaminated) liquid which had the added glycerine. I've used glycerine without any problems in making wine, wine coolers and liqueurs for example, but I've never breathed it into my lungs before.
While looking into this I discovered that blood serum levels of glycerol are positively correllated with cardiac arrythmia so a head's up on that.
Since I need to order some fresh supplies and won't have any medication to treat panic attacks until April 10th I believe this is going to take me a couple of weeks to sort it all out. I'll try to keep y'all posted.
