Smoking.

Hi everyone. I last left a message on 17-march. It was about what to eat to keep my mind off smoking. I hadn't had a cig for 3 days and I wanted to know of any snacks that would keep my mouth busy. Well you certainly gave me some good ideas but I thought I'd tell you that I am now 2 months without ciggies but I've found out why I was so thin. An overactive thyroid. I was shocked to say the least and had been blaming how I felt on the diabetes. I'm back to the 'Endo next week and will find out what's going to happen. I just hope that something can be done so I can stop the Carbimazole pills. They are a nightmare for me. I've even got toothache where there is no teeth!!!
Swollen ankles and swollen lower legs and the pain and weakness in my shoulders and arms is unbelievable. I never knew that the thyroid caused all this suffering( what a martyr I am!)
I wondered if there is a link between this and diabetes. Does anybody know.
Perhaps a cig will make me feel better! haha! Cheers all :lol:

Totsy. How did you get better or are you just waiting for it to happen again? Cheers.
