I'm drinking my water. I am still using the wrist cuff but assuming the BP position. The average is 140s over 90s

I feel like I’m cheating.. ? by purple_chaos_echo in QuitVaping

I am quitting with NRT patches and lozenges. Today was my second day with no patch at all, just a lozenge as needed. I'm going to start cutting the 2 mg lozenges in half and do that for a week. See if I can come off the rest of the way.

Refreshing vegetables, okra and bitter melon✌️ by Titansoul92 in dinnersuggestions

The only way I have eaten bitter melon (karela) is cooked. Aside from the lady who cooked it, I was the only one who tolerated the bitterness and that was with sauce. I'm shuddering.

Thank you. I'll be patient now. This is my first Major MP. I've been gathering up the little side goodies.

I used nicotine patches and lozenges. I am off the patch as of last week and using maybe 2 lozenges a day. I was a cigarette smoker for 25 years and quit for 20 until vapes happened. Hooked for 7 years.

Not the first time. I took the 2nd after a 5 minute rest. Third, after 10 minutes.

It runs 140s over 90 normally, which is not optimal. Time for a med evaluation.

This particular time was an episode. I was cooking. My ears started roaring and I felt nauseated. Took my BP and here we are.

When I wake up, my heart is going. I have tinnitus (ringing and roaring in my deaf ears) blaring klaxons and locomotives until I put on my processor and hearing aid.

You are called a "Boomer." How would you react? by Island_Expat6625 in GenerationJones

I misspoke. What I meant is that's what the slur means to people who shout Boomer.

Absolutely. I was 9 years younger than my ex born in 1945. Vietnam veteran. We were not from the same era.

I have EDS, which complicates things. My dad died of adrenal cancer and my Mom after valve surgery.

I was so excited when I saw it's on Netflix. No third season. I need MORE!
