Most likely all of your symptoms are from the withdrawal.  I've had every one of them before.  I've never heard of getting pneumonia from quiting.  That is only my thought, and I could be completely wrong.  good luck

posted you below.

Good luck menzo...from what I have learned here and the experiences I have had myself I believe you are in wd.
Don't hesitate to call a doctor if you feel in your "gut" it is an infection, or you have a prolonged fever, or can't breathe.  Aside from that, it sounds like the rest of it is the hell of wd.  I am sending good energy your way tonight and praying for you too.  You are not alone.  I am glad you are posting because there is a LOT of support and unconditional love here.  No judgement just a lot of empathy for what you are going through, and a possible kick in the butt when you need it.  Good Luck!!!

Peace~

I just found this site recently myself.  I was on a different one some time ago, but I find that this site has a lot of very caring, compasionate and wise people on it.  WD truly sucks if it didn't I think that we would all be clean.  But the best road isn't always the easiest.  Post any time and I will try to get back to you.  I have always been one to help others, it keeps me from thinking about my own troubles...lol.  Good luck and we'll talk soon.
