For amphetamine users, and usually after amphetamine has been used for a while, a user finds themselves having to choose between two states regarding temperature:
A) Body temperature so high that you're sweating like mad, and your brain feels like its melting because its too hot.
B) Being so cold (probably due to vascular constriction) that your hands and feet turn into a darker color, and it feels difficult to move them.
For a while, a user may attempt to find a "middle ground" between the two opposites, but this only leads to the very uncomfortable sensation of "both": Sweating your balls off, even though you're shivering and your hands and feet are blue and you can barely move them.
I wanted to ask you guys, what is your technique for finding comfort (or at least an illusion of it), while experiencing the highly uncomfortable body-load from amphetamines? I find that alcohol works very well, and opiates/benzos work miracles if they are ever at my disposal -- but alcohol and opiates/benzos can't always be used, and can't always be obtained; are there any solutions that use non-psychoactives?
Its all too often that I find myself turning the heat on and off every 5 minutes, throwing blankets and sweatshirts over me then taking them off again 10 minutes later, jumping into the shower and cranking the water on hot because I'm freezing cold, then start sweating in the shower and turn it to cold again
Perhaps alternating is the only real solution - and we do it because its our bodies way of trying to deal with the vascular constriction. Due to our bodies inability to dilate blood vessels, it has to substitute normal mammalian homeostasis with habits much more similar to a cold-blooded reptile.
