hello there. well it's the end of day 15. today i stopped taking the champix. bestus is still using it. i have found that i have begun retaining fluid, and am having a really hard time breathing. about 20 pounds heavier than a couple of weeks ago, in fact.
see, when we joined Curves last week, i was weighed, and those scales said 217. the next day at the dr. office, the scales there said 220. um, ok. i noticed getting more short of breath. i thought i was supposed to feel better for stopping? not feel more like shit?
so anyway, bestus got me some green tea and more cranberry cocktail and i have been slurping away on that. seems to be working, weighed myself this evening, and the scales now say 210. still horrid, but not 220 like last week. i'm still swollen and short of breath. my ankles and hands are not where this swelling is showing, oh no, it has to be right around my mid-section, pushing on my poor old lungs.
so i am feeling a little better physically. let's see how i make out with out champix in my system. i honestly don't wanna smoke, so i can't see why i can't do this now without the drug.
bestus is doing really well too. she is able to concentrate on her course again now, and she will be done soon. then she will try and get a good job. there seems to be a need for medical transcription people, which is good, since that is what she is training for. i'm so proud of her, and all the hard work she is putting in to this.
well, not much else to write about at the moment. it is late and i am supposed to be asleep. i lay there and not even able to close eyes. so naturally, i get up and see what is happening on the interwebz.
have a good day/night. i am pretty sure my blog is around 4 years old now. :)
