Gave up after 20+ years on Jan 15th on week 8 now and this is the worst week by far and suddenly today I start wheezing really badly, on champix btw. Does this sound normal has anyone else gone through this.

It takes your lungs around 12 months to completely get rid of the gunge according to my doctor. She told me to expect my recurring chest infections to continue at least that length of time - cheery soul, so she is :rolleyes:

Could just be you've picked up a virus or an infection. No harm in getting it checked out if it continues to get worse. I wouldn't worry too much though

I recommend a nice wee hot toddy and then off to bed :)

May I recommend the fibre supplements you can find at any boots store to help with constipation (especially in the early stages) - they have no taste so just add to your tea or coffee and they get things moving very nicely :p
