Sore throat

[PorkandPancakes]

Today is day16, quit still feels strong but I've developed a sore throat and lots of throat clearing today. Is this normal? I'm sure it is but you start thinking, am I coming down with somethings or is this quit linked.

On a side not, I took my first belt in karate class yesterday. 2015, the year I started karate and quit smoking.......now if I could just find the perfect diet.......

Yes all normal it's your cells coming back to life and getting rid of all the nasties, covered up for years it will get better and you will feel amazing :)

 

Congratulations on karate belt, 2015 really kicking a$$

 

No perfect diet just eat everything in moderation and smaller portions ;)

Your on the right path P&P!

 

Your body is still adjusting to the absence of nicotine and the mind of no cig in your hand! 

 

I went on the Sea Food diet, I see food, I eat it!

 

Thumbs up on the Karate for exercise!

As others have said it's a good thing. I know it doesn't feel like it but your body is working overtime to fix things.

Gargle with salt water!!!

I have a sore throat as well.  I'm grateful it won't turn into bronchitis or pneumonia (as sore throats sometimes did when I was a smoker).

And congrats on the belt!  I want to take some sort of martial arts myself...haven't begun research yet.

Keep on kickin' arse

Yes, the throat thing sounds very normal indeed. Just your body doing it's healing thing :)

 

Congrats on your Karate belt :good:
