Ok, so the last few months I was doing a moderate amount of about 1 g a week and I somehow realized that I had an open cut or a sore on the inside of my nose. It wasn't bleeding but it looked like a little square patch where the upper layer of skin was worn away. I also had chronic runny nose and sneezing off and on. Due to the pandemic I noticed a drop in the quality and a $20 increase that made it not worth it. And I'm not going to lie, it was a little challenging but I have not done it in about 3 weeks and I'm good. I feel I got control of it.

My question is, if I started doing it again, how long would it take for that sore to come back? Also, I'm thinking about going for a medical checkup/ exam. Do you think the doctor will be able to tell I was "riding the rails" when he looks at my nose? How long should I wait till the exam, as maybe a general rule of thumb.

2nd question is, I noticed that although its a stimulant, when I did it during quarantine it was at home and not a a raging DJ event. At home I noticed that afterward it made me feel weaker in my muscles. Is this common? Usually at a party I would be dancing/ raging so I never noticed this effect, but could it be that I am just getting older ( the big 50) and that's whats up?

I had that (but from snorting pills)
It eventually turned into a small hole
Now I stupidly still sniff (coke and ket only) and it is slowly getting bigger. It's about the size of the tail end of a biro, slightly oval
Take that how you will
