Interesting. That describes very accurately the sensations I had when I quit smoking in 2008. I smoked 2+ packs a day for 19 years -- and quit... "panic attack" is an understatement...

The sensations I had recently were not quite so 'ethereal', but it is possible that the stresses of dieting brought on a low-grade version. Great thought.

Oh... and I heard you're in for a doozey of a winter storm in the next couple of days 18MaynardStreet... true? If so... good luck.
