Hi,
I just joined today because I have always looked at your public forums and have found a lot of good info on different topics. But I have a health question that I would like to get your opinion on. 2 weeks ago I was prescribes 60 hydrocodones 325/7.5 for a problem with pain in my neck and lungs. Anyways, I neglected to tell the Dr that I am a former heroin addict (it has been 5 years sober) which was stupid on my part. And when I took the pills as prescribed they had virtually no effect on my pain at all. Then I remembered seeing a forum discussing Cold Water Extract process and decided to give that a try, because I didn't want to end up destroying my liver/kidneys. So I tried it and it seemed to work for a while and fully admit that I was probably taking more than I should but did not worry about it because of my high opiate tolerance. Then about 10 days ago (thursday before last) I took probably 19 hydrocodone through the cold water filter process within about 12 hours. I felt fine that night, but when I woke up the next day, I was sweating, had a foul taste and smell in my mouth, and was very nauseous. Headache too. Felt kinda like a really bad hang over. I rushed to the bathroom and ended up projectile vomiting large amounts of blood through my mouth and nose. After that, I did feel better and trying to be a tough guy I decided to try and tough it out and see how I feel later (stupid I know I should have gone to the ER right then and there). For about 5 days my back hurt, I kept smelling and tasting that foul smell, and my stomach was in a lot of pain, although I had no more nausea, vomiting, and seemed to be digesting things normally (no blood in stool or urine and regular flow of waste). On day 5 I got sick of the pain, and went to the ER. They took my blood and said I had high white blood cell count so they gave me a CT scan of my abdomen which they didn't see any abnormalities. They let me go saying it was gastric reflux and prescribed me something for that. Now its ten days later, and I still feel a slight pain in my abdominal area (mainly my upper right side) but it is very dull. I guess to sum it up, should I be worried, even after the ER took blood and did a CT? I feel paranoid that I did serious liver/kidney damage, but I am digesting things fine. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this and any advise would be much appreciated.
