Hi to anyone who reads this, I am 3months 5days quit and although i am pleased i keep feeling hot then cold sneezing but its not a cold because i dont have a runny nose and i dont feel fluey either. And in the pit of my stomach i feel anxious, i think, its just a strange feeling. I have become tired with no motivation and that is not me im always jumping up to do things. So why do i feel like this?. Is this the way we are meant to feel, yesterday i was a quiet person my oh wanted to know if i was ok, and i couldnt tell him why i was feeling strange. Why do i think about a fag but dont want one. Well i have done not much today had a lazy day. But i am still on nrt loz and finding it hard to come off them completly. Any suggestions.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling great but by the sounds of it you are in the terrible 3s which for me was a bad place to be and nearly ended my quit but lucky for me it didn’t, so I would say just go with the flow for a couple of days and I am sure that your energy levels will rise again to insurmountable levels LOL.

If you don’t feel any better after a few days maybe you should think about seeing the doc as you could be suffering with a bit of hay fever.

This quitting lark can be a real pain but pains can be relieved cant they.

hang on in there

Hi Fleetwood

Massive congratulations on getting 3 months plus - I just put that into my calculator and it shows that you have NOT SMOKED around 1880 cigarettes and have added about a week on to your life :D

What you are feeling could be a cold - or hayfever - or it could be what they call 'quitter's flu' which feels like various cold systems but is your body getting rid of nictotine and smoking -related stuff - it affects your throat, sinuses, lungs, everything really like a cold but not all at the same time necessarily!

Chances are you will feel better in a few days so what ever you do stick with it and I hope you feel better soon ;)
