Sore throat

I know it's usual to have a sore throat when you stop as your body returns to normal but how long does it usually last? My throat's been so sore pretty much all week but I thought it should have gone by now. I had a packet of ten (over 3 days) last weekend (that's why I'm back on day 7) but before that it had been about 3 weeks with nothing. So shouldn't the sore throat have gone by now?

I was hoping you'd all say 'yeah, it'll be gone by teatime'... I'm so impatient!

Oh well, it'll go eventually but it's just so annoying right now - especially as it keeps waking me up as my throat's so dry. I don't sleep well at the best of times so the last thing I need is something else disturbing me.

Am going to use it as (yet another!) excuse for some serious comfort eating this evening.

Whiteboy, the acid thing your talking about, I'm getting that also but I'm using the patches. So are you sure it's the gum thats doing it? I just don't want you to make the quit any harder than it is already.;) Keep up the good work though.:)

Perhaps it is NRT in general.

I suppose a few days/weeks of this is nothing really compared to the benefits. Am not using NRT so it's not that for me, think it must just be my body recovering.

Not what you're looking for?
