Drink loads of water...and anything you cough up, spit out (swallowing it could be causing tummy ache)

I'm at nearly 48 hours no nicotine and all I can taste is phlegm right now...eww. But it is soooooooooo worth it!!

Hang in there

Namaste

Yes Stacey, some have flu symptoms when they quit for a couple of weeks,feel feverish etc... This is normal, and you may feel very tired but it does pass, if not see your doctor. It is normal though. Like Maat says spit it out !!!!

i felt i would die...seriously...LOL. flu like symptoms off and on for MONTHS, i slept all the time, etc. i did not have a cough THIS time, but i have in the past on other failed attempts at quitting. i also had nausea. your body is detoxing itself from some pretty nasty chemicals, so just hang in there and drink lots of water and eat healthy foods to keep your energy up:)

Lovemy2 is right- getting through the detox and your body healing, takes time. You do feel like crap before you start really feeling better. I slept the first month of my quit. I felt like I had the flu too. But I promise it passes. Youre doing stupendious Stacey.
Thats you- Stupendious Stacey (SS)!!!!!!!!!!

I am drinking lots of h2o to help. Boy, am I uncomfortable... Can't catch my breath, using my ashma inhaler, I have so much post nasal drip stuck in the back of my throat. Trying to get my mind of this.. The uncomfortable cough so I went to yoga & Pilates this morning.. Cause I get depressed if I stay in bed .. This is sooo uncomfortable..breathing is a struggle... So I cough!!! How long will this last. I Made a appointmet with a pulmonoligist - lung doctor in the beginning of Sept. I feel like total shit! That's why I didn't go to work.. I'm a flight attendant .. Don't know how I would breath at 30,000 ft. Thanks for your advice.. If you have any other suggestions j need them!

I guess everyone is different. Some people told me that they got a cold when they quit. I didn't get a cold. But I certainly had trouble sleeping for the first 3 days. After that, I could sleep a normal night's sleep, but I was a b**ch for the next month or so.
Just understand that you will get through it.
Drinking lots of water is real good idea. And stay away from the triggers.

I agree that everyone reacts differently. No cold, but I developed terrible insomnia which I now seem to have gotten used to. The way I look at it is that anything is better than smoking!

Stacey- good idea to see the doctor. it will ease your mind abnd maybe they can do something to help. Stay calm and smokefree- it should ease up soon.

yep I agree drink heaps of water. I was sick for ages when I quit. It really got me down but I told myself that my body was trying to adjust to a smokefree me. The withdrawal will pass Honey just stay strong because it is worth it
