Hi, Ive just joined today in the hope of some support from fellow quitters. Im on day 5 and was wondering has anyone else suffered from a throat that feels like its full of blisters and a rawness. My nose is so dry and sore too.

Yesterday was my worst day so far...craved the cigs all day, nearly caved in but thankfully didnt. Cried buckets too!! Is this normal or am I going barmy? HELP!!

I am sorry to tell you, you are going completely stark raving bonkers!!:eek:

Don't know about the sore throat etc - it could be the quit, or it could be your run of the mill cold virus - or a bit of both, of course! Take some paracetamol and drink lots of water.

As to the weepy stuff, oh yes, that's normal! We've all got that particular T-shirt in our wardrobe, I reckon. Hang in there though, because it does pass, honest.

Congrats on making it to day five. Stay strong and stick around, this place will help get you through!

Thanks for clarifying things for me john!!

Hi Irish.

Everyone has different symptoms but have seen yours spoken about more than once so would say it is normal.

The crying is probably the hardest to deal with but it honestly doesn't last forever. I would cry at anything and everything.

It honestly will improve and this isn't how things will be long term.

Keep going and you will see light at the end of the tunnel

Thank you Karri...

Nope sorry my mistake, let me start again.......

Welcome and congrats on your quit!!

Many people report many symptoms when quitting, many of which involve mouth ulcers and other oral woes!!

The good news is they pass relatively quickly as the old blood starts to circulate with all that extra oxygen you will be getting!

Now there are lots of posts around this forum which cover all sorts of ailments that you might encounter, the best thing you can do is read, read,

read and you will arm yourself for the journey ahead.

Also posting on here is good for distracting yourself when you get cravings.

Good luck!!

Welcome

I found reading on here around the same time as my quit and just a day or so ahead really helped and I then knew most of what I was going through was normal.
