Ketamine related bladder pain
So.. I have quite a bit of a ketamine habit; I could say I'm addicted to the substance and my usage ranges from 'doing quite a lot of K' to 'doing completely rediculous amounts of K'; such as using serveral grams a day (between 1 and 4 grams) for atleast serveral days a week (usually 2-6 days a week); the last year has been most severe but I've been doing the drug for three years total now.. that's not really what this post is about though. Mostly I've been fairly healthy; I never get ill and usually I feel pretty good. I háve suffered through K-cramps almost 10 times in the past half year, that is absolutely by far the most intense pain I have ever gone through or can even imagen.. there's really nothing to compare that feeling to, pure agony. Other then the occasional few hours-days of K-cramps when I did a too extreme binge though I've had no side effects or issues of any kind, my bladder had always been completely healthy, up to this past sunday morning. No pressure, no pain, not even really a noticable increase in frequency.. I typically thought my bladder was doing so well because I constantly drink tea and water; I pay close attention to my fluids intake because I know it's the nor-ketamine that causes bladder issues and my logic was you can't have it stay too long in your bladder. Up to this past sunday I had always been fine.. this weekend I did something really stupid though...
I took speed and LSD on saturday evening on a festival and also did nearly 4 grams of ketamine on friday and also around 4 or so on saturday and then 2 more on sunday; I also had been doing around 2.5 grams a day on thuesday, whensday and thursday. I know that's a lot. Really, way too much, however I've done severe binges before and never had any problems. This time however I did something else stupid: taking two stimulating drugs; speed and LSD and completely forgetting to drink ány water for 12 hours during the LSD experience. Somewhere on sunday morning I developed horrible pain in my bladder, I realised quickly what I had done and drank a liter of water and the pain went away. Now however since sunday I've had bád pain in my bladder; I feel constant pressure and constant pain and I have the feeling I have to pee constantly, my bladder however is easily capable of holding more then a liter of water for serveral hours so its capacity is sort of ok; the pain however isn't. Peeing feels as if I'm trying to pee shards of glass, its a really sharp and intense pain. There's no blood and my pee is clear so I guess that's ok but the pain is just terrible.
Obviously I'm cutting down now, I am however addicted and I can't help myself completely, bad, I know, but people who are familiar with addiction may sort of understand.. I haven't had any since sunday afternoon (I have used other drugs though; been doing tiny amounts of speed, some GHB and now some cannabis) and I'm going to try to do as little ketamine as possible the upcomming weeks.
Does anyone have any advise on what is good for your bladder other then not doing too much) ketamine and drinking a lot of water and herbal tea (cinnamon chai-ish tea with no caffeine, figured that can't be too bad)? Any decent over the counter painkillers or any drinks or foods to avoid or anything that's particulairy good for the bladder? The pain is still réally bad after 48 hours and I just can't bear it really.. feeling as if my bladder is full of crushed glass is just so nasty.. I'm going to get some codeine and paracetamol and see if that sort of helps but I'd really, really appreciate just any advise on what can help on managing the pain and what things I can do that may be good for my bladder.
