Give and get support around quitting
When I quit smoking last May, I followed the Elders' advice of drinking lots of cold water. It did indeed help, but I noticed that I would feel really chilly for quite awhile afterwards. Like when you get chills with a fever. I recently started drinking a lot of ice water again (doctor's suggestion), and have noticed the chills again. Even if the surrounding temperature I'm in is warm. This never happened before that I remember. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with being nicotine free, or if it's just an age thing. As my doc says whenever I say I've never had some symptom before, "You've never been this old before either"
Anyone else have this?
NOPE - although I rarely drink ICE water. Might you try just a bit of cool water instead?
I don't usually drink ice water either...just cold water from the faucet and I do get cold if I eat something cold like ice cream or a popsicle. It's something to make summer more bearable...yeah, I was never this old before either...your doctor is pretty funny.
I have never had that issue either and I drink ice water all day long. I agree with elvan, your doctor is funny!
That has only happened to me after I eat ice cream so if your water is cold enough, then it makes sense to me!
I changed the Subject line per a suggestion from Mark. Much better this way. Thanks again Mark!
I am confused Not a shocker - Did you also change your username?
I did! Been wanting to for a long time, but didn't know it was even possible until OldBones-Larry posted about it this morning.
