So I started the yay in February and have had 2 days without since. 1-2g day but a few 3-5 nighters cuddled up to half oz. I'm in my 40's losing crazy weight duh, but the worst is my NOSE. Rather large pustules on both sides that SCREAM making my eyes water.

Too far gone? Any ideas on lancing or removal of huge gnarly (nickel or larger) swollen pustules.

Stay up and thx

I'd go to the doctor, those pustules can quickly turn into necrosis in your septum, which isn't fun trust me.
 
So, OP, let me start by saying I totally appreciate the severity of your situation. We are a Harm Reduction community, so I can't very well close this thread, given the fact that you are apparently causing a slow death for yourself by using Cocaine. If you are losing "crazy weight" and have, by your own admission, pustules in your nose, then the only reasonable suggestion is going to be ceasing your use of Cocaine immediately.

If it is not possible for you to put down the Cocaine, which again, is the only reasonable thing to do at this point, you need to use a different route of administration before you destroy your septum. That's not to say you haven't destroyed it already, as the already existing pustules could very well develop into death of the tissue as bptubbs has accurately noted.

The problem is, we are a Harm Reduction community, meanwhile, the use of Cocaine, in both an acute and chronic sense, is innately harmful. Opioids, for instance, can be used chronically, indefinitely, so long as the person maintains normal function like eating, sleeping etc. Cocaine is inherently cardiotoxic and it immediately exposes the user to severe cravings for more.

To answer your question and I'm not being an asshole, I'm just trying to be objective, is that you are definitely past the phase of "recreational" usage or a "run" as you have said, as you are experiencing pretty clear-cut physical damage to your body and are still continuing to use Cocaine compulsively. So, if we're to get real, you are not likely to be able to use Cocaine responsible or safely in the future. If you can't stop for days at a time, it's nearly impossible for you to somehow return to normal usage.

First off, I think you have to go to a doctor regarding the pustules. I know, maybe you don't want to go and admit your problem, but if you don't go now and seek medical attention, you could progress to a condition that requires invasive surgery. If they think you're a drug addict, which will be pretty apparent when they look in your nose, you're probably going to experience surgery without any post-op narcotics which is not a fun thing.

If you need advice about the routes of administration, hit us up.

So, FUCK ME!! Is that ok here? The FUCK ME part. The lower index finger tip size postulate is now gone. It left me with a nice pothole and I assume I'm married to it if im picking up what you are putting down. I have another on same side DEEP as far as one can see and along 70% of the top side of said nostril. Those still being in the baby possum ass phase just lingering.

Left nostril is identical only exception is all postules are still there. How in hell does 6wks create such havoc. Suppose one had keflex on hand as well as bactroban ointment? My best guesstimate os 35lbs +/- 10lbs most likely the + side. A svelt 6'2" 143.

I'm torn. Just throw it against the wall and say fuck it. Can anyone message me?
 
Hey there my friend. I understand that this must be a pretty scary thing for you to go through. Just know that we're all going to be here for you as much as we possibly can. While not all of us have developed holes in our nose through use of Cocaine, a lot of us have experiences that would be considered equally scary, miserable or what have you.

If you cannot stop using Cocaine right this moment, I understand that. This is the best, most sensible move, but this is not always how human beings act. You should at the very least change your route of administration. You can't put any more Cocaine in your nostrils from now on. You will almost certainly need surgery at this point to repair the damage, but depending how you proceed from here, it can be a minor surgery or a more complex one..

Don't do anything like try to administer Antibiotics to yourself. That is a very bad idea, but I understand that you want to solve this problem right now. The only thing you can do is go to a Doctor and get the ball rolling on fixing your problem. Do you need information regarding alternative routes of administration? I'm a bit of a whore for rectal administration, but I would take rectal Cocaine over nasal Cocaine any day.
 
You need to stop snorting coke and go to the ER immediately. Not to say your life isn't in danger(from a possible blood infection, and given the proximity of your face to your brain this is a real conern) but I am mostly worried about permanent cosmetic damage that will result if you don't get on top of this right now, you don't want to wait for infection to start swallowing your hole nose.

Help me understand. Would this not put new vents in my ass?

What do you mean by vents? Plugging your cocaine would involve mixing it with water and the solution is absorbed anally. If you're not familiar with rectal administration, we have loads of threads you may want to check out. Listen to Keif and do not start taking antibiotics. Do not put ointment in your nose and stop putting your fingers up there! Coolwhip has the right idea in going to the ER because a nasal infection can quickly spread to your brain. FYI, unlike a deviation, a perforated septum is not an easy fix. You should see an otolaryngologist/ENT for an assessment once this clears up.
 
Hi and thanks, I was just making about in light of my dire situation, as in more holes than 1 (vents) from cuts etc. How does this happen in less than 2 months? My nose is absolutely fakked
 
I think we have a pretty good consensus going regarding how you should proceed with your issue. We are all here for you buddy. It might be unpleasant dragging yourself to the Hospital and telling them what has happened (and there aren't a lot of alternative theories for this kind of thing), but it could save your life. I am going to leave this open for now, but I think we're all in agreement at this point, that the only true application of HR in this situation is advising immediate medical attention.

We also have private messaging here buddy. If you want private advice or just someone to talk to for emotional support, we're all here for you. We occupy differing time zones, so if you can't reach one guy, another one is likely just signing on. I know it's tough, but we've got your back all the way!
 
No need to tell them it was caused by cocaine. Simply have it treated as an infection, which the pustules very much sound like, go to the ER and have it dealt with, but there is no need to mention recreational drugs. You aren't a doctor, so they can't expect you to know how they did get to be there can they?
 
Ahh accidentally deleted my reply----------

I went to the ER, I used the 'Afrin' excuse but didn't feel it was bought per sey. I have almost complete loss of nasal mucosa on rt side with a LARGE hole not certain if septum is involved as its sorta gnarly and the Dr didn't want to bother the white (scab) if you will. The left nostril is 50% mucosal involvement with white patches, not nearly as deep but there and will be slow to heal none the less. I was referred to ENT asap I'm working on that now as I need the help of a specialist no doubt. I ceased usage been several days and am taking antibiotics.

I appreciate the support and straight shooting by all involved, this sucks on so many levels hopefully I make it thru with all anatomical features intact.

Thx again!!

Hope it works out for you without too many complications man, I know it's rough.
 
plugging cocaine will eat away at you just like blowing it. i?ve never known a frequent cocaine user who wasn?t suffering severe consequences. smoking coke immediately tore apart my life.

good you sought and are following up on medical attention. good you have stopped using. hope you are able to walk away with minimal scars, figuratively and literally.

I have to agree with you Hydro. Cocaine's original, miraculous nature in terms of numbing sensation, tends to be the most physically costly side-effect of constant use. It's my belief that the rectal route would be less damaging, as the rectum and colon not only provide a more broad area with which to absorb the drug, it is also more, what's the word, wet? Mucosal? You get the idea I'm sure, but yea, Cocaine in general is just shitty for your health.

I'm glad that you sought help dude. Different antibiotics are used for different infections. Granted, they all can be effective, some are much more advantageous for different situations. The Ear Nose and Throat guy is almost undoubtedly going to know that you're problem was provoked by Cocaine usage. It's not the end of the world, but given the fact that lying is not going to work in this situation, you should be fully-honest with your ENT. When doctors find out you're manipulating them or lying, they tend to get more upset than your average joe.

Mananas, I don't speak Dutch. I'm also not a huge fan of the Dutch. I spent 2-3 years of my childhood in Hilversum/Laaren [sic]. Some Dutch kids (the international school and the Dutch-speaking school shared a playground) stole my LL Bean windbreaker. I'm still heated over the experience and have no love or trust for the Dutch. You've revealed yourself as being Dutch Mananas. I'm sorry, but our relationship, which was already... sour, will further suffer ;)

As keif said, different antibiotics work better for different things, but don't be afraid to let the doc know if it's having any off effects on you. For example: cephleaxin triggers migraines in me, so while it works wonders for infection, it's not a good fit for treating me. And doctors will work with you on this.
 
Damnit I cant edit. I write these fucking diatribes forget a comma, return to edit and it deletes.

On Doxycycline.

Yeah mobile mode doesn't let you edit, you can fix it by using the full site button at the bottom. Hope everything goes well for you man, I too have dealt with bible belt hospitals... *cringes*
 
Don't worry man, we're here for you and to provide emotional support. We're all about Harm Reduction and it's a fact that people are able and more apt to treat themselves well with support and love from friends and family. It's a fact that we are all linked like brethren by the fact that we all do something that is typically in violation of the law on a regular basis. This site is here because "Civilized Society" has determined that we should get no support, no voice and no definitive, accurate information regarding drug use.

So yes, we're always here. We will help you out in any way possible. If you just need friends, we can be your friends or better yet, your family, think less along the lines of a nuclear family unit and moreso a Manson Family-esque type of deal. Don't worry, we don't solicit murder from Greenlighters. We're obviously gonna need time to indoctrinate you by invading, occupying and destroying your sense of self in a way that would give the upper echelons of the United States Military hard-ons.

Take care
