I was a daily IV meth user for four months, two months prior it wasn’t daily but weekly getting doctored by my ex. Once I figured out how to shoot up myself all hell broke loose and I was living absolute hell-on-earth.
Backtrack a little; I met my ex during my third rehab stay, I’ve been addicted to numerous things, but never got into the needle so this was new territory for me, and I had just relapsed after getting out of rehab therefore was in a vulnerable, dark, and naive headspace. My first shot I was given put me into immediate psychosis. There was all sorts of shit in it GHB, side, and vodka??? I overramped not too long after that episode as well, point being… it was safe to say my mental state was a shit show. It’s hard to believe I decided to continue banging meth after the terrible first couple of experiences but I did, and due to my… shall we say… frazzled state…. I was terrible at slamming man. Fuck was it ever bad and I just didn’t care at all, overworked my veins, not exercising proper needle practices, I just went for it and I’m a female with very small thin veins I missed more often then not at the end, permanently damaging my veins in such a short period of time, always bruised, swelled up, multiple trips the the ER, avoided the basics like eating, staying hydrated and sleeping … I now of spider veins that popped up all over my arms and am now concerned about this new issue explained below.
It’s been six months since my last shot and I recently got a tattoo on my tricep, inner arm, decently large piece that starts from the crease of my elbow almost to my shoulder.
I have tattoos all over, some in the “top painful” places on my body. I tolerate pain well and have always sorta enjoyed the burn tattoos give.
There were no problems when the tattoo artist went over my biceps, but when she was going over my tricep I felt THE most severe pain I have ever felt in my life and went into some sorta almost shock?? I immediately started crying uncontrollably, quivering all over my body, went beat red, I was hysterical it was like a body trauma response. We took a break and went back at it but it happened again. Understandably, the artist stopped and recommended I come back at a later date.
Besides being extremely embarrassed about my experience at the parlour I honestly feel fucking traumatized. There is no other explanation other then there is just some trauma around that area from my IV use.
The tattoo healed perfectly. My question is has anyone else experienced something similar? I don’t see anything wrong or feel any tenderness, swelling etc. But it’s a wide area for there to be SO MUCH unbearable pain amongst the skin, and it’s been six months….
Anything that comes to mind would be super appreciative thank you so much.
