Hi All,
Sorry it has taken this long (again) since I last posted. Except for the work, work, and work, I have been sick again as well.
Recap 4 those who don't know my reason 4 quitting:
Had bronchitus in the beginning of last month, the posibility of chronic bronchitus is large. After that naturally comes TB or lung cancer or emphazemia and I don't wanna die that way.
Well, the bronchitus is back, and this time I almost landed in hospital. I didn't feel as bad as the 1st time, strange enough, but when doc took measured my peak-flow (how strong my lungs are)it was 260! It has to be 350 to be normal. According to him, it was bad. He booked me off, prescribed meds and I had to nebulize myself 5 times a day, and I had to go back on Saturday to check if it got any better. If it didn't improve by then I would have gone to the hospital. At least it went up to 350 - I was kinda ecstatic about the improvement - since last time when I was still smoking, I had less than 300 on my peak-flow.
Now doc says it could be my thyriod gland that's the real issue. I have been sick 4 times this year, twice with bronchitus, which I got only twice in my life before. So in two weeks time I have to go for tests to see what's wrong.
Now I am wondering:
- Is it possible that smoking could harm the thyroid gland, since it's situated in your throat?
- How long will it take for my lungs are healed, especially in the direction of bronchitus?
Lots of regards,
Gogga
PS I need some advise
