Day 14, and things are getting a little harder! Ive finally got 'Patch Itch' so at least i can tell theyre working, but beginning to feel anxious in the mornings, not really craving, but like my body knows theres something missing and causing a symptom.
Cycling about 8 miles each day, and feel good when i get home, breathing better, cough now gone, always had problems with falling sugar levels though which smoking seemed to level out - now its a problem again!
Also, budget cuts with local quit smoking service means they have a prescription limit, so whereas before they could prescribe my patches and 2 Nicorette sprays, they can now only give out patches and 1 Nicorette spray, but thankfully i had some left over from last quit!
Another little annoyance, during last quit smoking service visit, was told i could have seen the 'lung testing' nurse to test my lung capacity, but as ive used the service in the last 6 months i cant:confused: The nurse was paid to be there anyway, and its a plastic reusable device they use, yet budget states they couldnt do my test!!! If i used it or not they would be spending exactly the same???!!!:eek: Bureaucratic nonsence at its best! If i were coming off some class A drug, i would have nurses piling me high with drugs, probably a plush new clinic to visit, would have my house paid for, all bills paid on my behalf and not have to work!!!
Day 14 Aaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh
