Thanks droopy, will try, I'm very wheezy aswell, hopefully just the virus and it goes soon xx

I've just searched thru old posts and found all my answers, all normal by the looks of it and lots of water needed and exercise helps get rid of rubbish on your lungs so when I'm feelingv little better will go for a brisk walk, one of my teeth snapped in half today just to top it all so looked that up also and found problems with gums and teeth are also normal, oh the joys of quitting but it will be worth it, might need a new body and set of dentures at the end tho lol

I've been lucky not to have the cough but got a throat infection quite badly.....also really sore sinuses.....also and bleeding gums. Through all this I'm focusing on how it is my body trying to renew itself and purge itself of the bad things smoking has done to it. I'm certainly no doctor but the human body is amazing at how it tries to fix itself. Stick with it and you will be do much healthier and stronger...xxx

Thanks sweetie, it's comforting to know I'm not alone with this, and yes it's our poor bodies trying to get rid of the rubbish, oh how we abuse our health when we were young and wonder why we have problems later on, but hey I reckon your right we will probably end up with a nice shiny clean re conditioned body!!! Lol
