Give and get support around quitting
Hello! I've been a smoker for 8 years and diagnosed with MS for 11 (I agree, bad combo). I quit, yet again, 3 days ago and I feel like my symptoms are going wild. I expected chest pain but my neurogenic pain and MS hug are BAD. Do any other Ex's have MS or experience with someone with MS quitting? I know it be better from me regardless, I'm just trying to keep from getting discouraged.
Thanks!
Edit: *will be
Welcome! I know that jconfusion Tabbiekat abelsyaya and lakeside3 have mentioned multiple sclerosis so perhaps they can impart some knowledge about their experience with quitting.

Welcome! I have no experience with MS, but wanted to say hi and we will support and encourage you in your quit. Please reach out if you are feeling discouraged.
Hi and welcome .
I do not have MS , so I do not know how or if quitting smoking would affect you differently or how that might be , but I want to encourage you to quit smoking . Quitting is one of the best things you can do for yourself .
I do have a friend and a nephew with M.S. so know a bit about MS but neither smoke . Many of us have other health issues not related to smoking and have quit ... you can too . Keep the quit . Glad you are here .
Well, I am so sorry to just be seeing this I have MS. I just came off a terrible time with it and am back in remission. Thats said, I have been quit for 6 plus years. I hope by now your feeling better? I still; get MS hugs from time to time and they are horrible. Dont think it ha anything to do with when I smoked, but in your case maybe anxiety of recent quit may have brought the hug on?
