+1 to the hot bath, it saved my life today.
There is my story.. I had what I guess it was "cotton fever" a couple of times a year ago or so, with mild headache and some fever, nothing special, in 24h I was perfectly fine.
Yesterday night I shoot some bupe and a-ppp filtering with a brand new cotton, different ones I used to use days before, (I know that I should microfilter it but I can not get those filters in this fuckin shitty country), and I get something like sore skin sensation (like when u have fever) bad headache and pain in the eyes. I slept like 12h (waking up every 2h or so, very bad sleeping) and I woke up more or less fine, only with slight headache. During that night came to my mind: "shit it may be the cotton fever again.."
As I was not sure if it was that I didn't heat the solution, or boiled the new cotton to try to kill any bacteria, I did again (stupid, I know) same brand of filter, new one, boil the solution and then boil a bit the filter... I took the shot and I thought "hm I think this time is fine..."
WRONG, 30-40min after I was starting having more headache again, feeling chills, and this time was the worse I ever had, I was shaking like a motherfucker and almost shouting WTF IS THIS OMG, strugle into the bed still shaking, then I remembered about the hot bath, it was fucking BLISS, 1h or so of bath and sackings gone, then some rest and now I have only some headache.
The idea I have is that it may not be the cotton, I'm quite sure it was the bupe solution I had made and used in this last shots, (2mg in 10ml) that was not properly "conserved" like the other times (properly closed and with some drops of alcohol..) because I read somewhere that you can get that "cotton fever" not because of the cotton, from using tap water or not cleaning properly your instruments, also the drug you buy may be contaminated, maybe is the new a-ppp I had... Or is it a different thing? Sepsis?
Well, now, I know it's going to sound so fucking stupid but I'm going to try to shot again some bupe with a-ppp, now just one tiny piece of pill with boiled for 10 min or so tap water (because I always use tap water and boil it in the spoon, years doing so with only a couple of issues so I guess it was not that the problem..)
Wish me luck lol
Cheers.
