Sometimes we get sick while quitting! It happens and it can be totally unrelated to our quit. If you're losing it at both ends then you may be dehydrating quickly. If so, see a physician ASAP! We're not doctors here and although vomiting or intestional problems can occur with a quit, you're getting pretty far along to just be experiencing both of them now, and out of the thousands of quits I've been associated with in the past two + years, I've never seen "both" this late.
From my own personal experience, I had very similar symptoms when I contracted gastrointestinitis (sp) from working in my compost pile, but let your doctor make that determination for you! If you continue losing fluids please get seen very soon!!!! I was extremely sick! Be careful!
As everyone said, the key to permanent freedom is learning to live nicotine free! As Table 40 of the the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services's Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence (June 2000) indicates - 89% of all over-the-counter nicotine patch users have experienced complete relapse by the six month mark, just three months after the recommended time for pulling the last patch off (7 mg. @ 3 months). If our program ("educated" abrupt cessation) were generating such extremely "ineffective" cessation rates, we would have grown discouraged long ago and you would not see so many bronze, silver and gold titles behind member names - we just wouldn't be here. Rarely -very rarely does a Freedom quitter who pours themselves into their education, lose their quit! It's just the way it is!
We do hope you're feeling better and don't take us wrong about NRT (nicotine replacement therapy), the vast majority of us tried and failed with it repeatedly before turning inward to ourselves! Feeding any nicotine addict nicotine will NEVER teach them how to live a nicotine free life! Patches and gums don't teach or learn. Only you can do that! We sure hope you're feeling better soon.
