I am a diagnosed Marfan's patient, which means that my connective tissue is genetically predisposed to be looser than your average person's. Pros: Height, reasonably quick metabolism, and double jointedness. Cons: cardiac symptoms/risk, unusual thinness, and poor circulation.
I'm wondering what drugs/drug classes/methods/RoAs/activities are absolutely contraindicated for someone with this (or other circulatory) condition(s). I exercise pretty often and think I'm healthy as a whole for someone with Marfan's and (based on looking at the Marfan's website) I believe my symptoms are relatively mild...
Also, based on the number and variety of drugs I've consumed and lived through over the last four years I'm either very lucky, not as seriously afflicted as others, or Marfan's doesn't limit your drug-use options very much at all.
I've used a host of opiates, psychedelics (including dob, which is supposed to be terrible for circulation), stimulants, benzos, alcohol, weed, and recently kratom. While my blood pressure fluctuates sometimes and I'm prone to head rushes, I haven't seen any evidence of serious damage done by drug use and every year when I have an echocardiogram and EKG done they always tell me that things look normal and, more often than not, that everything looks very good and very stable.
I'd greatly appreciate anyone's opinion, but really obvious stuff like "stimulants are bad for your heart" or "depressants lower your BP" I can pretty much figure out for myself. If anyone has professional or anecdotal advise specific to cardiovascular conditions that'd be awesome.
Thanks! There seems to be very little info about this on Bluelight thus-far. Lets break some ground!!!
