The flu like symptoms (chills, body aches) didn't start right away - may be a month to month and half after starting nicoderm cq. | I am not a smoker. I have a presumed auto-immune disease called Ulcerative Colitis. I've read research that nicotine helped control the symptoms of UC. It did for me, but the trade off in side-effects was not worth it for me. I am now trying to get off this stuff and I am dependent on nicotine. I would use the 7 mg patch a few hours a day until I couldn't stand the side-effects anymore, then rip it off (man what a negative glucose ride that is all by itself). Then sometimes I would put a new patch on several hours later. Anyway, I hope my UC doesn't flare back up again that I have to get back on nicotine. Health History: Diagnosed UC in 2001. Otherwise healthy. Current Flare History: Started end of Jan 2007 till early April 2007. Treated with prednisone Feb 07-Apr 07, nicotine (feb 07 - jun 07), lialda (ongoing), MSIR (for pain and diarhea. ongoing taper down). If anyone has similar experience please post here. | M | 40 | 3 months | 5/23/2007 | 5 | Nicotine (smoking) addiction | Intense, very lifelike, insane, vivid dreams (only happened first two nights I wore the patch sleeping). | For me, it felt as if I had just got done smoking a cigarette all day, so there was no urge (other than oral fixation). Worked great! The only thing is, I had been a smoker for over 10 years (1-2 packs a day) and I quit easily without following all the steps they listed. | M | 29 | 1 months | 4/5/2006 | 5 | quit | vivid dreams when worn sleeping. mild soreness at application site after removing, went away in an hour or so. | forgot to wear it on 5th day, haven't worn since, haven't smoked since. | M | 28 | 4 days | 5/1/2005 |
