.. I'm right at MurrayHill.. I actually got most of my gear at Division Vapor, a bit of a drive, but so far well worth it Hiya I'm most likely the odd ball out and that's ok :)

from what I've experienced with it, I bet you are self medicating
.. I got another friend of mine with Fibro to try it and she felt results within her first ten minutes vaping and is now doing it herself to medicate and has noted some pretty dramatic results, it even helps a bit with fibro fog .. it's that endorphin release 
GRose,
That is one great story. I am so glad to hear it, and particularly glad that you are feeling better.
You know, if cigarettes weren't so bad for you, the positive benefits of nicotine might have been much more thoroughly explored.

My mom has pretty severe Fibro. I wish there was a way to help her like how your friend found relief. My mom would never try it though and I can't blame her for that. I know that endorphins have always been great for me guess I never thought that nicotine was linked to endorphins being released into my system but now that I think about it it makes perfect sense.
Welcome and thank you for sharing your great experience with the "evil" nicotine Nicotine just like its second sometimes vilified cousin Caffeine has a lot of benefits. Its good for pain, migraines, nose bleeds and general malaise and fatigue. Its also good for some bi-polars, schizophrenia and other psychological problems. Its as bad as many other natural stimulants if over used or abused. Its a natural chemical and less harmful than all those energy drinks and other suppliments that all those "healthy" anti-smoking fanatics down like water.
Welcome again and here is to less pain which is always a good thing to those that suffer from joint pain.

Welcome GothicRose! I too just joined today and have been a "lurker" for a bit too. I love your story. I used to be a nurse and researched a lot on natural remedies and found nicotine to be quite interesting in its uses. Glad to hear you found something that is working for you.
So happy for you that it's working well. And how great that you have such supportive doctors. Your future looks bright.
PS if that is you in your avatar - you have beautiful hair!
Hello and Welcome! Glad you found a solution...and a really enjoyable one at that. Don't worry, you're definitely NOT the oddball! We've seen much worse...trust me.
After reading all your posts here, I find that I too am self-medicating. Although my doctors don't approve. They want me to quit vaping as well. HA! Fat chance. I have RA, diabetes, and something that no one can agree on, although they are leaning towards MS, or something closely akin to it. I already keep sugar and wheat out of my diet because of the diabetes, if I had to quit vaping... well, let's just say it wouldn't be pretty. Lol. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Now if I can just convert my hubby over to vaping all the time...
yep that's me .. I've gone everywhere from bright pink to deep purple doing the blue for now <3 .. it's my mid life crisis LOL .. lots of fun though and makes it easier for folks to find me in a crowd (I'm only 5'1" tall!)

Many papers in the literature indicate that nicotine has analgesic and possibly anti-inflammatory effects, so this report is not at all surprising. Most of the data was obtained with animal models, but there are also several clinical studies showing the effect in humans.
Just a few recent examples:

Based on these results there is an ongoing debate about the development of nicotine receptor agonsists as novel analgesics. So far this has been hampered by the side effects of the drugs currently available: Neuronal nicotinic receptors as analgesic ... [Biochem Pharmacol. 2013] - PubMed - NCBI

I find this incredibly interesting. My husband has a chronic pain disease, and we were considering dropping the nictotine (we are down to 3mg) but maybe we shouldn't. Hmmmm.
You might search some of Kurt's posts for some of the science behind it - he's a chemist, and has chronic pain which is alleviated by nicotine.
He's written some very interesting stuff here over the years.

!!! I need to know more about this. I know folks with Lupus & JRA.
Interesting story. Mine is a little different: I was a pack a day smoker up until 6 weeks ago. Since I quit tobacco and started vaping, my joints pain have almost completely disappeared! Not sure which one of the two did the trick, but I am trilled.
I too suffer from some ailments and was told to get off cigs cuz' it was making them worse so I was surprised to see a positive use of nicotine. Yes I know cigarettes contained 3,999 other chemicals that probably did the damage or caused the problems. But I'm still glad to see something positive come out of nicotine use other than satisfying cravings, which I have Happy Vaping!
Happy Vaping!
Welcome GothicRose, wishing you many pain free days ahead. AiV juices are incredible aren't they? April Moon is the only fruit vape from any company I've ever liked well enough to order in the large bottles. Happy vaping!
That's an amazing story. You always hear about doctors shunning anything related to cigs it's nice for one to promote a nicotine product once in a while. I myself have done a ton of research on nicotine and in its pure state it's very beneficial in many aspects
