Symptoms of Nicotine Withdrawal

I quit smoking almost a week ago, cold-turkey, but with aids like the patch and the nicotine gum. Three days ago I began experiencing fevers, chills, aches all over my body, migraines, loss of appetite, and a severe pain in my left side going thru to my back. I've searched the internet trying to find answers, if this all is associated with smoking, but to no avail. Hopefully someone on this site will provide an answer?

Each person reacts differently when they quit. I got E.N. about two weeks into my quit. Swelling and very painful nodules on the shins. Weird to say the least. Gone now. Headaches, tired, feeling sick are all symptoms. If you are concerned, see the doctor just to be sure.

I hate to say this, because it doesn't sound very thrifty, but when it's a case of your health and you feel as bad as you say you do, you need to consult your doctor and check on your symptoms with him/her.

I am glad donnamsar shared her info of same symptoms as you! Do listen to her advice because everyone has different experiences with quitting. Mine was nausea, vomiting and headaches. Sorry I didn't go into detail in my original post. I didn't because my doctor had told me it was all in my mind :-o

You have something going on that is not nicotine withdrawl symptoms. Call your doctor. I quit some time ago using the patch and did not experience anything like that. Call your doctor!
