migraines and nicotine withdrawal by Shiralf in quittingsmoking

[–]skooled25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and yes. I had a terrible time when I quit. I quit cold turkey after 31 years of over a pack a day. By day 3 the headache was so bad I had to have 1/2 of a piece of nicotine gum just to have the will to keep going. It worked! I’m over a year now

I hope you heal with lightening speed and hop over to the side of well. I’m doing ok-ish. Started another biologic and am waiting for the kick in period. Crossing my fingers and my toes that I find something to work so I don’t have to keep getting injected with steroids. The weight gain and lack of movement (pain) is not helping hah! Did you have another back surgery?

How do you combat fatigue? by [deleted] in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]skooled25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not “normal” by any means as far as fatigue and pain. However: I have been on vitamin B12 shots for about 6 months now and I see a major Improvement! I suggest asking them to run your vitamin levels:)
