Hi Princess, Marie and Misty,
Thanks for all the responses. The soreness I am feeling is in my entire mouth and down into my throat. I am having a stuffy nose but nothing terribly serious. I have been taking a number of new medications for my heart problem and thought perhaps that this could be a side effect. However, I checked everything out and none of them have this listed as a side effect. So, I am figuring that it must be withdrawl. I also think that it could be related to eating mint on a regular basis to help with severe withdrawls. So, I am slowing way down on that as well. Either way, this isn't going to make me go back to smoking. I am having next to nothing in the way of withdrawls now and KNOW that I will make it this time. Even if I have to eat soup and applesauce as a regular diet from now on :), I don't care. Those evil cigarettes will NEVER get me again. Thanks for everyone's help. Can't tell you how extrodinarily happy I am that I found this website. You folks are just terrific!
