I think honey is supposed to help. I read a couple teaspoons of honey a day also helps with stomach acid and problems, and it soothes and helps throat tickles.

Hope you are feeling better soon...

Karren,

You can always check with your doctor to check your lung capacity! It is a fact that once you quit most bodies have an easier time healing and getting over sickness.

Good health on you!

Hi Karren,

I had a similar experience on a quit many years ago.

The cold was so mild ( and did not turn to bronchitis) that I came away thinking

"is this why the rest of the world thinks colds are no big deal? ".

It was a walk in the park compared to when I'm a smoker and get a cold.

As a smoker, I've have had the same signs as you that one was coming on. A day of yucky taste. Then flat on my back

for several days. Serious congestion and recovery took a couple of weeks.

Always ending up at the doc for antibiotics and a lecture.

Oh! And let us not forgot that I would smoke during these even if I could barely climb the stairs

back to my deathbed after the cig.

I dreaded colds so much that I would go running if someone sneezed anywhere in my vicinity.

Could not afford the many days in bed and total misery for the next two weeks.

My guess is that it is part of the healing process. I've heard about cilia in the passageways of the lungs that grow back

and help flush out the bad bacteria we smokers have been susceptible to all these years.

Sorry to hear you were ill, glad to hear it wasn't so bad. Hope you are feeling much better!

Thank you for another reminder to stay quit! At your expense. ;)

Wonder if anyone has had a similar experience to mine this week? I have had a chest and throat infection which came without warning 10 days ago.

I say 'came without warning' because when I was a heavy smoker I was always aware of when a chest infection was about to strike. A couple of days before I would get a 'nasty' cabbagey taste in my mouth and an intense tightening across the chest. However, this time it just came, and although I felt pretty miserable, I have to say that as chest infections go this one was mild. I have had a cough but not my coughs of old where I would cough until I was almost sick or gasping for breath, and my recovery has been far quicker than any other chest complaint I have ever had.

Health Mods- am I just lucky to have got off lightly this time or is it proof that my chest/ lungs have improved somewhat??
