hacking and choking

Tonight has sucked. I felt like shit last night so I went to lay down at about 8:00. I spent a good 6 hours tossing and turning. I would sleep for 10-30 minutes, and then wake up in a hot sweat with my entire body aching. I threw up a few times, and had dry heaves almost every time I woke up. At 3:00 I woke up and could not get back to sleep. After an hour of tossing back and forth in pain I drew a hot bath and soaked for a little while. The bath helped with my body aches, but I'm still in pain.

I've never had problems like this while quitting smoking. I am usually grumpy, irritable, and sleep poorly, but this is the first time I've been this sick. I think I might have a mild flu as well, which is being made worse by the fact that my immune system is begging for nicotine. I wish I could just go back to sleep right now. I feel like crap and am not looking forward to having to go to work today.
