I’ve been getting really bad bruises and swelling after IV meth use. I’ve been an IV user for 12 years and never experienced this. I know I’m not missing bc I keep pulling blood back and it happens every time. Any info on this?
 
Presuming you already know good IV practices and have no changes to your usual technique, gear, equipment, or frequency of use..:
- Could be some kind of strength/ingredient difference in your gear (mixing with enough water??)
- Could be general circulation system issue.. Any change in exercise/muscle tone? Are you drinking enough water? Eating nutrients?
- Could be nutrient deficiency. This fucked my veins up before. Get your iron, magnesium, etc
- Wear and tear. After 20 years on/off I definitely bruise up 10x worse, even though I use 100x less than back at the start


To heal bruises faster you can use specialty vein cream, or I've been trying hemmorhoid cream as a cheaper substitute. It seems to help but idk if it's actually fine to do or not so..
