Thank you so much for your story! I, too, have dealt with severe pain all my life. I was diagnosed with polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when I was 5, but onset was believed to have occurred around 6 months old. The meds for severe RA have come a long way, but now the long term use has created other major health issues for me. I was a smoker since the age of 13, so doctors are happy I have stopped cigarettes. I cannot give up nicotine, though. Using electronic cigarettes is a no-brainer for me. With all the meds I am on, I am sure the vapor is one of the safest things I consume. I am glad you are noticing positive results from vaping. Your post has me wondering if I should increase my nicotine level. I have some 12 and some 18 and I do seem to feel better on my 18 mg days, but never thought about the correlation. I am definitely going to pay more attention to how my flare-ups respond to different nicotine levels now. Thanks again so much for sharing!

Also want to note, there are vendors that actually make their liquids sugar and gluten free! I am so glad that there are options for people like me with crazy allergies! I am fortunate that there is a B&M nearby that ensures no gluten since any contamination makes me feel like I am dying of poisoning.
