HI Demi thanks a lot of the vote of confidence. I was never a "smoker" but did do a binge smoke on my birthday, which was silly to say the least. I don't normally smoke at all...(although int eh past I'd have one or two smokes once a week sometimes).

But this bout did me in. I hope it does subside, but it's been over 5 weeks now and no sign of improvement. NOt sure what is wrong. It must be that, although I can't be certain.

I am sticking to the diet too, but so far no results. I'm drinking a lot of water due to the herb teas i drink all day too, as well as taking vitamin C in water...

Yeah it's hard to sometimes be on the diet 100% perfect 100% of the time. It's goo dyou have moderated some of it though and the thin based pizza seems better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (I love pizza, but don't have it normally for similar reasons).

I feel very poisoned, and am not sure if it's the smokes or the cheek and gum testing I was doing with dental materials, as they too set off bad reactions. But surely that would not remain in my system..... so I'm very confused.

Anyway, thanks again and for the kind comments! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Much appreciated.

Take care

Bex.
