this is my second day not using after about 3 weeks of daily IV use. and the first day i woke up with the body aches, and worst of all were the chills, and just being freezing cold. what happens in the body during w/d that causes you to become so cold?

simply because some of the opioids attach to your nerve endings, the more consistent the use, the more they make themselves at home.
when you stop, and the opioids leave your nerves, they are in a sense reexposed to the environment, and shocked.
also, your body will start running faster, warning up, you begin sweating, your pores open to release body heat, or the may think they are supposed to, as they should if you had a virus or sick. when your pores do this, you take in more cooler air which is uncomfortable anyway, and with your nerves being hyper sensitive it feels much worse.
i try and picture all this microscopic mayhem as its occurring, see it for what it is, and detach some into this physiological visualization of electricity, highways, and homes. its easier then fighting it, or trying untill its run its natural course.

I get hot/cold flashes brutal during severe morphine or dilaudid withdrawal. The last time i came off a heavy IV habit i was fucking freezing and was in a very cold place. I got sick as fuck. Dopesickness lowers your immune system so your more likely to catch any colds on the go.
Drinking hot tea (the stuff without too much caffiene is best) can warm you up alot i find. Other then that it's really suffer it out.

This is why WDing in the winter is even more terrible, imo.
The temperature thing really gets to me. It's the first physical symptom I'll usually get and one of the last to leave.

When I was in part of the worst of my WD it was the hottest recorded day of the year so far in the UK. I was still freezing my balls off. People who didn't understand were truly shocked to see me shivering in the boiling sun!
Yeah i went through really bad IV morphine and dilaudid withdrawals in a city where it was about -35C
. I ended up catching fucking pneumonia out of it.

taking a bath in water just bellow your regular body temp helps, but i a avoid this as it just comes raging back.
also if you have a gabapentin prescription, i will take 100mg or so doses through out the day, it is designed for this problem; CNS hyperactivity, or how ever youd like to put it.
