So I've been opiate clean for about two years.
A month and a half ago I started a new job which involved breathing lots dust. I started to experience cold-like symptoms, specifically a runny nose. I figured it was due to the job, and these symptoms lasted for a month.
About a week after I started the new job I snorted some heroin (in the nostril that wasn't stuffed up), and I was fine (though still having congestion problems). I used a few more times in the past month with no noticeable effects (except fatigue after once when I used 2 days in a row). After that day I was physically fine again except for the congestion.
The last time I used was Friday (6 days ago). I started taking anti-histamines 2 days ago to see if my symptoms were allergy-related.
All of yesterday I felt like I had the flu. I felt weak, fatigued, slight body aches, and always the runny/stuffed up nose.
Today my runny nose is gone, just like that. This would suggest I was in fact allergic to the dust. Thing is, I still feel a bit fatigued today, whereas I didn't feel any fatigue or aches until 5 days after my last dose.
I've been addicted before, and I've been through withdrawal with both H and suboxone, but in those cases the withdrawal always showed up 2 days after I stopped using, peaking after about 3 or 4 days.
So my question is, am I experiencing delayed withdrawal symptoms or is it just a coincidence owing to the fact that I was in fact sick/allergic.
It's important because if I am experience withdrawal I need to take a step back and forgo using today (which I planned on). Also, I don't have cravings. I mean, I crave just like a H-addict always craves, just like I craved over the past 2 years. Actual withdrawal is usually accompanied by intense cravings (you're body telling you it needs a dose to feel better), but in this case I feel more like I'm coming off a flu.
