Wish I could help, but I got my medical degree from the university of google. With my expertise, I was able to come to one conclusion.

Sounds like withdrawal symptoms to me, I experienced some similar, albeit much milder symptoms, when I made the switch. I hope it's something simple. Good luck!

Vestibular neuronitius???

Yea- that's my diagnosis- 4-6 week virus that makes you think you're going crazy....

Wow... It's like a crazy cold and instead of sneezing, you have panic attacks, vertigo and odd thoughts....

I personally think you have some type of poisoning I do not think it is vape related but you have said one sec that you have no stress then you say you do I would get a second opinion from a medical Doctor we surely are not qualified to assist you. It is possible you have lost your mind though none of us can answer this

Well, I'm back to smoking unfortunately - going to try and ween my self off over a months time ....

But I did try my vape again, just 5-6 puffs over 10 min- new juice from Alice in vape land
And 20 min later I had the same symptoms - dizzy, anxiety, and just felt crappy- lasted for 5-6 hrs....

I am thinking I may have developed an allergy to PG- but I can vape on CBD vape oil and zero effects-

So maybe it's the nicotine?? All my juice is 6, and the new Alice
STUFF IS 3!!!!

Going to try 0 juice today- I made some DIY juice with VG and some organic flavoring from high desert vapes and distiller water-

Maybe I've developed an allergy to the flavorings??

Should I try virgin vapes?

Unlikely it's the nicotine if you can smoke. Have you tried vaping unflavored (I saw you were doing DIY)? Best thing to do is try each component separately.

I thought I was having a close of a reaction to PG, but it was from all the WTA I was missing from not smoking cigs.
Snus and snuff helped but it was getting so bad in 09/10 I was vaping, smoking, snus, and snuff at the same time to curb the foggy dizzy headaches. Vertigo is exactly how it was, but so bad could not open my eyes and lift my head off the table without puking. Went back to smoking till mom was dxed with cancer and I was not working full time so I was able to vape and just chill.

IT will pass, make sure you do not have lyme or rocky mountain spotted fever or even an inner ear infection.

Oh... Whole tobacco alk...
Thanks-- Ive never seen it mentioned ... Looking into it now
 
Medical roller coaster its seems reading your story here.. I think we are all having problems and if we never smoked analogs ! Stuck to 0-nic, We could all be rest assured and free to pick and choose brands/flavorings without fear of us not being able to analyse the underlying issue - thus solving a problem without pointing a finger, predominately in one heavily weighted direction... Complicated...

Did you guys see the kick starter for medical testing all this vape business and try to make some facts out of all the fiction - well researched testing much needed.. Gonna be a long time before we all find out whats best and whats not, dry hits no good for no man.. Unregulated spiders web with smoking products, DIY ??.. Some people are caught up here imo - some are not.

Good luck in your future vape en-devours
 
I think it is a PG adverse reaction. My 21 year old son just started vaping and in just a couple of days he had such horrible muscle pain and anxiety that he had to go to the ER. A lot of people have a PG allergy which cause many symptoms. Google it. It causes lactic acidosis. Lactic acid builds up in your blood and causes muscle damage due to lack of oxygen saturation in the blood. It ca also cause kidney failure if not resolved. The only cure is to drink lots of water to flush it out of your system. You have to go 100% VG liquid instead. That's the only way.But I don't know why you still have those symptoms of you cut out all PG so maybe it's something else.

That's some scary shit- how long did it last? Like weeks?
Thank you so much for the info- haven't found anyone else like that... Usually other people's symptoms just go away once they stop vaping. Not many admit to the anxiety..

I'm going to an allergist this week- to check the PG-
The neurologist gave me good and bad news- not a pill pusher, but wants another MRI and an EEG... She found some light areas on the brain which she mentioned is normal as you get older but also could possibly be MS...
But she 90% sure it's not- well, kind of excepted it- hoping for the best though.

She also said get on a nicotine patch 7mg
(haven't smoked it 3 days) but that immediately made me more dizzy and was leaving a red welt. So no patch -

I just wanna crawl in to a cave like a bear and wake up when this all over- poop!

PS - I've been pretty stressed over this and the neurologist prescribed Dry Needling therapy for my neck and shoulders--

AWESOME! If you have means I suggest it!

The take Acupuncture needles and jam them into you and wiggle it around making the muscle twitch-- doesn't feel great at the moment- but 30-40 min later...

AWESOME

Where's Dr house when we need him the most? Hoping u can Ger squared away soon, I've been a little under the weather myself, but its just my body and this time of yr. You're not crazy, if u were crazy you'd be setting yourself on fire and cutting yourself like the scitso inmates in my care do on occasion. When u start doing that or hearing voices and seeing water run down the walls we'll talk about crazy. Much love and prayers to get this crap figured out soon.

No kidding- although my neurologist is kinda like dr house- she's very interested in WTF is happenening in my brain... She'd probably dissect me if she could.. I finally found someone who has a similar symptoms... And we're compairing notes...

I've been away from vaping for about 3 weeks now and I'm having good hours to bad hours now... Hopefully it's on the way out... Allergist soon. I hope

Glad to hear you're getting things figured out and not giving up. I guess unfortunately vaping certain e liquids etc can have different reactions for different folks. Take care of yourself and keep us posted. Godspeed.
