Re: Smoking damage to your body

[Guest guest]

Thank you everyone for the welcome. Glad to be here.

I have not paid enough attention myself between smoking & pain (although I have

noticed some), but I have definitely noticed the huge impact it has on my

fatigue levels.

My partner is allergic, so when he visits me and I stop for awhile my

energy goes way up. After a few weeks, I feel much more able. But when I start

up again, I can literally feel the energy draining from me, physically and

mentally. He's moving here in the next month, so I will get my chance to quit

for good hopefully.

The way my doctor put it, is that CFS (one of my illnesses) already

causes a lack of oxygen to the muscles, so smoking makes it that much worse.

Peace, Jen.

can get more info on these scientific studies about pain

smoking. I hear similar tests quoted often but have yet to see actual

evidence. Thanks!
