Signing up a bit ironically.....

[Marky0707]

Hello one & all,

I have just come across this vaping community as I was looking to connect with anybody that has or is experiencing some symptoms specific to vaping. I have recently quit cold turkey nearly 5 weeks ago now. I smoked cigarettes on & off over the course of a couple decades, and was heavily smoking about a pack a day for about 3 years. I was introduced to vaping by a family member & really enjoyed it. I was given a vape box as a gift & went to my first vape store to test out some flavors & nicotine strengths. I found one I enjoyed & never looked back, I completely stopped cigs on the spot & went to vaping. I Vaped heavily over the last 3 years, however, I began to notice after about 1-2 months that I was becoming really fatigued, mentally & physically. I was forced into choosing to quit as I just could not handle the fatigue & constant exhaustion anymore. However, as stated, it has been over a month now since quitting but I an still exhausted. I am just as chronically fatigued & exhausted as I was while I was vaping. I've been checked out at the doctor's & all is clear but it doesn't feel that way.

Has anyone experienced this at all?

Kindly
Mark

What mg nic do you use?
If I use a higher mg nic I feel pretty crap after a while.

Hi Mark and welcome to the ECF.

How old are you and where are you located?
Are you active, employed and social?
What type of doctors have you seen about your symptoms?
If symptoms started 3 years ago, what have you been doing to manage the issues since then?


Cheers
I

Which are you vaping? Nicotine e-liquid or black market THC? Because your symptoms sound more like the latter.

Have you had a sleep study done? My wife complained of me stopping breathing at night,I was waking her up with it. I had a sleep study and found that I would stop breathing quite a bit and therefore not getting much REM deep sleep at all which gave me those exact symptoms. I hate sleeping with a c-pap machine but the results were dramatic.

Welcome to the forum!

Doesn't sound vaping related at all, especially as you've quit for a month.

 

[fiddleshe]

I hate to say it but it doesnt sound vaping related. I have been exhausted for 20 years. A lot of Drs dont believe in things like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, sleep disorders, etc. They want to chalk it up to depression and the like. Learn to listen to your body research and advocate for yourself. Good luck.

@Jebbn your reading comprehension sucks! He quit vaping!


Could be anything. Did your Dr do a blood test?

Welcome to ECF, Mark. Hope you get to the bottom of what is effecting you, and congrats for ditchin' the cigs.

I suffered from Excessive Sleepiness for several years. I could nod out on my feet at work, I got fired from two great jobs. Had several sleep lab studies for narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea. Specialists said I had a bit of both. Long story short, I qualified for SSI medical disability and am now retired.

Start delving into the truth of Lyme Disease perhaps. This doesn't sound vaping related...

welcome, i hope you unironically enjoy your stay here and find it informative.

Up until I quit just over a month ago, I was using 3mgs of nicotine.

Welcome Aboard
I haven't heard of this before, sorry can't help I would return to a Doctor

 

[barkfunklerbunk]

I would look instead into your diet, and sleep habits/schedule.

 

[LoriP1702]

Welcome to ECF.

That's how I felt when my thyroid quit. My level was the lowest they'd seen outside of a hospital setting.
You might see if your blood work covered that.

Like the others have said, check your diet, sleep habits, stress....stress...stress...stress.
Stress will just wear your soul to a frazzle.
I hope you find the answers.
