You'll get a fair bit of that in the early days Laura but it does ease off with time, I promise! It's worth grabbing yourself a sensitive toothpaste to help ease that side of things and also to try and consciously relax your jaw every so often - you'll notice that actually you're clenching it a lot of the time! The headache is often down to dehydration, because we're trying to avoid the coffee+fag trigger, the cup of tea+fag trigger, the ice cold juice+fag trigger we actually end up not drinking anywhere near enough! I actually made myself drink half pint glasses of water (at least six a day) in the beginning and the headaches went so maybe give that a try. Hang tough, you're doing great!:D

What Kat said!!

Plus, I don't know about you Laura but for me smoking always dried my mouth out so it was a routine for me to have a drink of water every time i had a ciggie. When I stopped smoking, I didn't need 20+ glugs of water every day so instant dehydration!!

Also drinking water suppresss craves too so that's an added bonus :)

Glad you're feeling better :)

Um where are you sticking your patches?

They're rubbish on my arms, but have found they stick well on my ribcage - the bit just under your bra is the best 'cos the skin doesn't move much!!

Not what you're looking for?
