(Newbie) Meth + extremely painful hands
Hi y?all! I?ve only been using about 3 months (smoke / snort only). I only use small amounts at a time and go several days in between without using often. Usually one night a weekend, I?ll do a little more than usual (maybe .5g at most, but I don?t think even that much). My hands have hurt to one degree or another since the beginning, but especially on the heavy use days. They feel bruised or like the slightest touch is bruising them (there?s never any actual bruises). There?s also a burning / broken glass feeling.
I?ve read magnesium and potassium may be the culprit? I drink 50-70oz of water / Gatorade every day, using or not (I?m 5?2 and 100lbs). I eat 2-3 meals a day even on heavy use days. Although, long before using I had a tendency to not eat enough or drink enough every day and lived in a chronic state of dehydration. I?m actually doing better than ever about eating and drinking. So why am I having these problems? Sometimes I feel like my hands or arms are ?going to sleep? even if there?s no reason they should be.
Is it safe to take aspirin during these times? I take a women?s multi and a ?hair, skin, and nails? vitamin everyday. How much potassium and magnesium is safe to take? I soak in Epsom salt and keep my hands and feel covered in Vaseline. I wear gloves around my house or in my car because I can?t stand the feel of anything at all - like even something as light as my stylus is too heavy and bruising me.
How can I fix this?
My hands and arms sometimes feel like they?re trying to ?charlie horse? and have at least made me paranoid I might be having a heart attack (pulse has never been more than about 105).
How do I offset this? I don?t want to put my body in danger. How can I tell if I?m safe having another bump or two over the next 12 hours, for instance? I need a little help staying awake or enjoying an evening with my husband ...
Any advice for this newbie? Thanks!
