Vaping saves my day again!

[JanTee]

so I can count on one hand the number of times I have been sick on one hand the past 13 years I have been vaping. Which is great, because I used to be sick to the point I got bronchitis a few times a year.

Right now, I'm quite run down. I have a teething baby, and the past few weeks I have been running a few doors down to hand feed my neighbours sick bird every few hours. It's super hot here, so going between air conditioning and heat, getting wet in the rain a few times and just not sleeping enough has wound me up with a nasty cold. Very sore throat, stuffy nose yada Yama.

Well I'm a bit of a tree hugger health nut, so no tylenol for me! Some homeopathic medicine, essential oils, vitamins and fish oil. But ouch the sore throat! What do I do? Fill up half my tank with menthol ejuice of course! Faster then halls or Vicks, soothing on the ouch, nice fresh breath, even cleared up my stuffy sinuses! Best of all, no sugar and the higher pg in it I am confident will speed this bug along to bye bye! Also so I vape less I used nic salts and am chugging lemon water.

Man, I love vaping! Now off to feed that bird again and hopefully catch a nap when baby does!

I have a flu or cold right now, not sure which, its winter here.
Vaping seems to mask some of the symptoms. I have some menthol concentrate, maybe I should try it!

Smoking kills, vaping rules.
I used to get savage bronchitis twice a year. I have not been sick once in the 8 years I have been vaping, not even a cold.

They used to make aspirin out of birch bark

Yup I know! I also have kidney issues so I try to avoid pills as much as possible. Plus, I am breastfeeding.

Fabulous! I think this is my fourth illness in 13 years and entirely my own fault. They pass very quick though, I am never sick for weeks, three days tops. This is day 1.

Birch yes, but mainly Willow as it contains more of the acetylsalicylic acid precurser

I focus on menthol for nausea often. Also Zofran, I believe in better living through modern chemistry.

Also Yarrow. I can't take NSAIDs, can't get a straight answer from anyone whether I can take herbal "aspirin".

I haven't gotten sick since I started vaping but I may get some menthol to have on hand just in case.

...and they used to harvest it to make aspirin before they found a way to synthesize it. Yes aspirin was originally a trade name for the synthetic compound. It’s still basically the same stuff though. This poor woman is in pain and reduced to using the next thing to voodoo to treat it. Allow her something that actually functions please.
