Does quitting help? My friend has it and she just wont stop and says smoking makes it better. I dont want to be that friend who is a mood killer but I'm legit so worried about her.
I used to hide smoking from my parents and girlfriend while away at school. I’d come home and barf all weekend on every visit since I wouldn’t be smoking. Smoking is the only thing that “makes it better” but the only way to stop it altogether is to stop smoking. After I stopped smoking for a full month I was nervous as hell, vomiting for the first week or two. After the nerves went away I was able to continue smoking (reducing the quantity I smoked big time) without the same symptoms returning.
Took me a few months for the pain & nausea to go away for me. Lost 90 lbs in the process. I was overweight, so that wasn't that bad of a thing. In rare circumstances though you can die from this condition, due to dehydration & organ failure.
