Non Smoking and the Flu bug
Today is my 19th day and im down with the Flu bug and i noticed that the symtoms of my Flu is bad compared to when i was smoking, im curious if smoking kills the flu bug?:) have anyone experienced the same like me since quiting?
I have heard often that when we stop smoking the body starts repairing. Often that means that we get a little sick before we start to fully recover. I reckon your body is just taking the chance to expel all the toxins inside and you will soon be feeling much better.
Keep up the good work - day 19 is amazing.
I'm nearly six days and I have keep feeling like I have the flu. Sore throat, headache, stuffed up head, runny nose.
What is happening is all part of quitting, not everyone experiences the flu but it is the body detoxing the nicotine. I was very ill for a while and I googled some good detox advice and then took myself off to a naturopath. Keep up the good work and remember to change a few things that go with smoking. Have your cuppa in a different spot, doodle while talking on the phone. It is a massive life change. I had smoked for 45 years, started when I was very young. Feel proud of your accomplishments, cheers, Suse
