i am rubbish today and it annoys me to admit it as i am normally an upbeat positive person, feel good about quitting and getting to day 6 and no giving in to any cravings (and there has been plenty). i am lucky have good health but over the last few days i have felt rotten, swollen glands, big increase in blood pressure, headaches,sleeplessness and now toothache. is this all down to stopping smoking? aaarrgh!!
sorry for sounding so moany and grumpy i am honestly not like this!! xx

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit rubbish today. I had days like that at the beginning (not toothache though). I think it is all the poison coming out. Stick with it I know its hard but you will get there.
You are doing so well getting to day 6. Anyway the forum is here for a good moan when you need it and support, so moan away.
Hi Maysie. I always have dental problems when I quit. It is usually problems with my gums rather than the teeth themselves - something to do with the supply of blood changing after quitting. On one occassion, it also appeared that I had started grinding my teeth in my sleep, which damaged the muscle in my jaw! Good luck at the dentist tomorrow.
