Tanks everyone and LP... I am glad you are better. I once smoked ciggies too. I used psychology and a little copenhagen... but the physical addiction lasts about 3 days, you are past that now. You can psyche yoursef out. When the craving hits you remember, it is not physical, it is only some pattern of behavior or some other mental thing. Tell yoyself it isn't really a need, just a want and dismiss it. Cross the bridge NOW.. don't wait to fight each battle with cigarettes when it arises, fight it in advance, make the decision when you are strong and dismiss it, it is a mental game now and you CAN and WILL win if you want to. Food will begin to taste better too!! You will smell smokers when they walk into a room and think ewwww that smells like an full ashtray. It is easy to become really self righteous about smoking when you quit, don't do that. No one likes a crusader.
I wish you well!!

 Hope you feel better by now jbow.
 
 I have been fortunate so far this year, but I was starting to sneeze yesterday. I hope I'm not going to get anything. Today I haven't been sneezing so maybe it was just some bad air. I'm looking closely at my humidity to keep it at 30% or higher if possible.Vitamin C from  oranges. Hopefully it will help some.
 
 As for the finger. They make a product called liquid bandage, not sure if you've heard of it. It seems to work much better than a regular bandage on those hard to cover areas, especially finger tips.
 
 

Take ColdEze at the FIRST sign of a cold!  It may make foods taste bland, but it definitely will cut down on how long your cold will last.
 
I also use the Airbourne products for that vitamin C boost.

Dang... I went to the doctor, the doctor gave me an antibiotic, Augentin. Now I have diarrhea to go along with the cough... I found out this morning that sneezing can cause a real problem. I called the nurse, they called my in a different one but I dn't expect it to be any different. I went to the store to get it an didn't think I was going to make it home, but I did... barely. Now I am on Cefdiner... I am not sure if I am going to take this stuff or not.
I am taking 4 billion acidophilous caps with (yes, it takes all day to take 4 billion caplets). I don't know if I am going to continue with this antibiotic crap or not. I hate it when the cure is worse than the disease, as it were.
 
I just wanted the Robitussin AC... and maybe a countdown pack. I wish I could be my own doctor.
I have learned one thing this time. DXM is good for pain, it has an affinity for a few MU receptors, it works quite well actually for back pain. About 50mg.
 
I will tey to make it to the toilet tomorrow morning if I have to sneeze... just in case.
