well i quit smoking recently. 4 and 1/2 weeks ago this past saturday. i quit for my own health and for the health of my kids. no more 2nd hand smoke. it was the right thing to do... but here is the kicker.... unknown to me i had a under lying medical problem. since i quit smoking the nicotine is no longer in my system restricting my blood vessels. there is a strong history of anuerysims in my family.. and now i have stabbing pains in the back of my head. tried to ignore them thinking it was just withdrawals from quitting smoking. went to the doctor and got sent to the emergency room. since i dont have health insurance i spent 14 hours sitting at the charity hospital system just to get a appointment for a MRI and a MRA. both are schedual a month from now on the 11th of december. In the mean time i get to play the waiting game and hope my head doesnt blow up. I will keep my friends posted as things progress. hugs and kisses to all, patricia
