Hey guys! I'm a 30ish guy former college athelete once in peak condition who never thought my life would come crashing down due to a physical disability, but it did about 10 years ago. I tried various medications some with very pernicious side effects and eventually had an organ removed. I am still struggling as I have a degenerative bone condition in addition to the original affliction and also now suffer from fibromyalgia. I have to try very hard to make it each day but the clock ticks on.

I was actually advised to try nicotine by a doctor (they don't RX it I don't believe). When I originally came on the forum I was kind of put off/run off by some who speculated that was a fallacy but whatever. A few bad apples don't spoil the bunch right?

So I started off smoking cigs and cigars and then chain smoking cigs and cigars and realized that probably wasn't a good long term plan and continued to drive past local vape shops. I eventually went in and purchased a cheap e stick and found I wasn't getting the same relief (which led me to post here inquiring what to do). I then got an FU type stick that was stronger and things got better. Thanks to your advice I now have a 50w device that works very well for me. I still struggle with a lot of pain and pain control issues, but any relief is good relief. Anyway, I always get great advice here so I'm hoping to build with some of you.

Cheers!

The nicotine helps alleviate the pain?

It helps alleviate the pain somewhat but it moreso generally keeps problematic issues in the body under control so that as much pain doesn't develop

I've been on FAR more dangerous drugs to treat my conditions. I've been rushed to the ER due to some of my other meds.

So maybe I don't look at nic as the outlandish evil that others might.

Wow...a doctor who actually prescribed nicotine. That's pretty visonary if you ask me, and goes to show that it's not necessarily such a bad substance- it's just the other stuff in a cig that's undesireable. Anyway- hope this gives you the relief you're looking for. Welcome to the forum, James!
