Try not to cough your ass off.. and cleaning a bong daily with hot water and letting dry never hurts. Sitting bong water is disgusting and I've gotten my fair share of lung infections. Maybe I'm being too careful but I've had one or two that took me out of work for 6+ weeks. I'd rather take a dozen small hits than 3 lung-wracking ones.

yeah i just sip on my vape so i try to limit how much i cough.
even though vapes cause me to cough more, i dont think i experience the same pain from vapes as i do bongs.
its like the thinkness of the smoke strains it the most somehow.

Agree with the bong cleaning. That shit's gross, can't stand people that don't clean bongs/bubblers/whatever.
Maybe get a humidifier? I see you're in Canada. Dry as fuck, right? Smoking doesn't do your lungs any good moisture wise either.
My lungs def hurt a lot when I smoked in CO and I attributed that to how dry it is. Never used to happen to me in good ol humid PR.
If it's in your budget, def get a vape. Never used one but from what I've been told, it's good for people with lung issues.
Good luck man, stop worrying. Maybe cut use for a week and see how you feel after that.

thanks, strangely enough i seem to be coming down with a fever for some strange reason, i was shivering to the point where i couldnt inhale for a few seconds because of the shivering and feel really low energy and weak.
odd, but damn the tendonitis in my forearms could be a problem for me, ive been working so hard with my music practice it would be heartbreaking if i have to give up my goals because of a permanent injury. really hope minor tendonitis goes away on its own. ive been icing it so i hope that enough. im not sure if i should risk practicing with this injury but even loosing a day of practice sets me back so far with the stuff im trying to play.

I've got nerve damage and radicular neuropathy in my hands. If you have to, wear a wrist brace around your forearms before you go to bed. When we sleep, our hands naturally curl up, causing stress on those nerves and inflammation. It sucks wearing one let alone two but the progress happens quick. If I know I'm going to be working with my hands or need precision dexterity, I'll wear them a night or two before. Mobile devices, game controllers and keyboards make for good strain and pain. You can also get a hackey sack or rubber ball and gently - gently - run it through your hands and give it a few squeezes now and again (not when you're in pain). I'd ask instructors or fellow musicians what they do.
If you're lifting hard, your grip is one of the most important things and people often overlook it when gains come on very quickly. You may benefit from using a 1lb weight and do some forearm curls. This has helped me immensely and my nerves are crushed to hell. It's the best advice and help I garnered during physical and occupational therapy over an 18 month period.

I appreciate your input man!
On another note, duh fuck is happening to me, check my temperature and have a fever of 101.5F. I have no appetite, im cold and get shivers that cause me to be able to move until it passes and for some reason my genitals feel heavy and almost sore. That symptom Came on when the fever did.

Probably just a passing cold or flu. Get plenty of fluids (water not soda) and get some rest. Take a few days off lifting and recover. Feed a cold and starve a flu. Crackers and ginger ale if your stomach goes south. Hope you feel better soon. Rub one out so your balls don't ache.
