Thanks for all the warm welcomes. LOL "honorary veteran status!!!" luv it!
On the medical note, my PFTs (Pulmonary Function Tests) are greatly improved. Basically that means my lung capacity has increased (what feels like tenfold) and my lung tissue has also healed itself. I used to be hospitalized for my asthma like once a year in the past, but not once since i began vaping. So now id say i basically have controlled asthma like i had 13 years ago before i started smoking- that obviously made my disease worse. Now i can go up stairs easily and even get through an entire dance class! I'm able to sleep thru the night & I never wake up coughing or with chest pains anymore. You know that achy chest feeling- i always thought it was an asthmatic thing but nope it was from too much smoking. I tried everything to quit for sooo long, i would even stop for weeks at a time but of course always went back. And then BAM- from day ONE with an e-cig, I NEVER smoked again. I just love telling that story, people are floored. And it wasn't even that hard for me. I had the desire- and all the cravings pretty much went away after the 1st 2 weeks
)
All of the medical practitioners i see all know about the vaping and thus far the only physical changes noted have been for the better. The only adverse reaction ive ever had with e-cigs was some headaches/shakiness as i tried to figure out which nic level was good for me. turns out I need only a tiny amount, 6mg and under only. Otherwise is all been good. Oh I did experience a lot of very wet coughing and coughing up mucus the first few weeks after quitting but ive read thats normal. Its like your lungs getting rid of the accumulated poisons.
Anyway next time I'm at my Pulmonologist's office I'm really gonna talk to him about how great they are/I feel. He's just glad i quit the analogs but i feel like he's still on the fence about vaping. More doctor's in support of Vaping cant be bad right?!
