Hi.
I found my sweet spot on 120mg/week and 12.5 proviron ed. Everything is awesome. So i stoped smoking cigarettes (40/ed) . Its about two weeks and i am shit. I have bad brainfog, tirednes, pain in full body, no libido no energy.
My question is:
quit smoking can cause hypothyroid?
Quit smoking can cause high E2?
Quit smoking affect adrenal glands?
I am still be on my dosage or i need find new sweet spot?
Umm, i think you feel like shit because you quit smoking dude… you’re going through withdrawals.
Quitting smoking has nothing to do with any of those problems.
Sounds like you want to start again though.
It takes your body roughly two weeks before the physical withdrawals from nicotine are over, so no surprises with what you wrote.
Normal stuff for nicotine withdrawals. Quitting is hard but you’re basically at the finish line if you can ignore the thoughts and impulses you get that tell you to light up.
I know people that started smoking again because “quitting (or vaping) made their gums bleed”. Addiction stopped them from believing that blood flow was improving and their gums were healing, any excuse for another smoke!
Smoking is terrible for you in so many ways that any side effects of quitting are going to be your body working overtime to get to a healthier base.
Have you tried nicotine patches or gum? They helped several of my family members quit
Nicotine itself isn’t that harmful physiologically but it’s the addictive substance that makes quitting hard.
I have stopped them several times in my life - once for 4 years and twice for 2 years. I was smoking again because I was tired of not smoking, not because I felt the need. I’ve been vaping for months now and I don’t feel like smoking normal cigarettes at all. I stopped coughing at night and waking up with a cough. I will also remove the vape, it is only a transition to the final quit.
There are of course more compact ones, but I use this one because the battery lasts longer.
I have. In fact, I use the gum now. It works very well.
I quit after a widow maker heart attack 3 years ago.
Nicotine can lower E2.
I think what others are saying is most likely right though. You are feeling like shit because you quit an addiction, one that comes with withdrawals. I don’t think E2 is your issue.
I chuckled how you wrote that out like how someone would with a medication.
I use pouches. I had gotten off the black and milds with a vape, but that eventually became something I was using all the time. The pouch is pretty good, but I do worry about the gums a bit. Probably better than chew though.
The only vape I got a kick out of was the JUUL formulations.
I did try a juul once a few months after the heart attack, and it was really bad. Immediate constriction of the cardiopulmonary system and angina like getting hit in the chest with a brick.
