Hello! I've been vaping for about 5 months but I'm new to these forums. I think Ecigs have probably saved my life and I really want to share it with my friends that still smoke. My best friend has migraines from time to time, not just headaches, but sit in a dark room with no light or sound, all day in pain migraines.
Faylool Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
Tell her to order Swedish snus. If I were her I wouldn't vape anything either if it gave me a migraine.They are holy hell. Read the Alternatives to smoking Forum here on ecf and the links are important if you remember hearing all bad things about it. But have her order the plainest non flavored tobacco snus she can. No flavors. Just tobacco snus.
Scaber Full Member
Yes she has been migraine free for a few weeks after she stopped vaping but she has smoked a bit. Also I'm not sure it was the vaping that triggered it, but it's really the only new thing introduced to her for those few days. I'll look into Swedish snus, but I'm not sure she would be into trying it.

TeriJo
I've just been going through a week of Ocular migraines. I've never had them like this. Usually I get one maybe once every six months.
sensay
Hey honey!!! I am not sure what is going on and I have not had any symptoms like yours. Just wanted to wish you well! I hope you find out what is going on and feel better really soon!!
nana
I feel for you, TeriJo. I know what you're talking about, but I've only had one in the almost six months I've been vaping. So, for me anyway, I'd say vaping isn't causing any for me. I also got some of the blue foam to try and have been using that for a couple of weeks now, so I don't think it's a problem for me either.
