I quit smoking cig's three weeks ago. That in and of itself is a miracle. My question is this....for those of you have quit in the past, did you start to get shadows after you quit? I'm not due for another cycle for about 9 months and I was just wondering if stopping smoking may have kicked, (no pun intended), something off.

I have gotten shadows after quiting, but I get shadows all the time. So I'm not much help sorry.  When I quit smoking about 4 years ago, it really helped with my ch, but 3 years ago when I tried to quit again, it started a cycle, so you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I'll be honest here, and I will keep you in my thoughts that it isn't wahts happening to you.
Last year when I quit smoking, one month after Q day is when the beast mutated on me. It was day and night pain, everday, something the beast never did to me before.
My specialist explained it to me about the roll of seratonin, and the rapid change in those levels when one quits cold turkey as I did, and that the seratonin roll in CH were probably the culprit.
Needless to say stupid me started smoking again but there was no change in activity. Guess the damage was done so to speak...
What the actual chemistry was behind it I can't say. All I can say for sure is that for me, quitting smoking pissed the Beast of royally, and has yet to let me forget it.

Thanks Thomas and Redd.....hopefully since I'm not quitting cold turkey (patch) my body won't view it as such a shock.

Huge amounts of stress seems to be a big trigger for me. I either start a cycle when Im totally stressed out (all day, every day) or when Ive been stressed about something and the stress is finally over with (happens during summer vacation for college). I know from parents trying to quit smoking that it produces high levels of stress. Maybe thats the connection. Just some food for thought.
