Feels like fiberglass in my veins from shootin dope and "itchy blood" feeling...Help?

I was wonderin if anybody can help me with this in general or knows anything about it/had it happen to them before. There is 2 batches of dope I have got recently that makes a really strange effect when I shoot it. other ppl that done the same bags, aint got this effect BTW, it seems to be just me. When I boot it up (this usually only happens when i do a bigger shot and not my "booster shot" that i do to bump up the high thru out the night, for example a 6 or 7 bag shot instead of a 2-4 bagger.) Anyways after booting up, right on time with the rush is this full body sensation of pins and needles but they are PAINFUL it aint that morphine pins n needles sensation that ppl seem to enjoy. It is like my blood is on fire. Its itchy and tingly all thru my body. It hurts really bad, and its just totally completely the definition of uncomfortable. It is kind of hard to describe the feeling but it really feels like my blood is itchy. It goes in my lips, my hands, my feet, the back of my knees, all thru my body like lightning shooting down my spine bringing these particles of itchy, scratchy, abrasive, tingly, sandpapery shit all thru my veins. It feesls like sandpaper inside my veins, like if i injected a brillo pad.

Did you ever get fiberglass on your hands? From insulation? Know the way how it sticks on your skin and kind of lodges in there and pokes you with its invisible spikes and your skin gets all irritated and itchy and hurts like someone is sticking pins in you? I think that is the best analogy to explain this feeling. Imagine that fiberglass itch/scratchy,"wool sweater rubbing against my skin and chaffing it" feeling, inside your veins. Imagine booting up water with fiberglass particles in it. Thats the only way to describe this shitty sensation that I been gettin. That, or having a entire hive of bees inside my veins all stinging from the inside.

I dont know if this is some kind of super strong histamine reaction or somethin, but i done shots of that size too many times to count and it never gave me no problems, so i dont know why it would just this time. Thats why it confuses me.

So, I aint expecting nobody to tell me the cause of this since you cant tell wats in somebodys dope from behind a screen. But you can tell me however if you ever experienced this and wat seemed to cause it to the best of your knowledge. It sucks becuz the rush is totally, 100% ruined by this reaction . It comes on exactly on point with the rush, so right as the rush SHOULD be hittin me, instead i get this weird-ass, nasty feeling that takes over for 20-30 seconds feeling like i want to jump outa my fuckin skin, and then as it slowly returns to normal and stops tingling and itchin, I get back to normal which sux cuz it feels like i dont even get high from dope and only do it for the rush so when the rush is gone it blows.
 
Ummmmm, thats totally not normal, and I would throw that dope away IMMEDIATELY!

thank god that feeling does not persist after the dope wears off..
 
First of all, lol @ cotton fever. Cotton fever comes from shooting used cottons. Ive had it before, this definately wasnt a damn thing like cotton fever.

It is also absolutely not a missed shot. I know the difference. There aint no swelling first of all, and no bubbles on the skin where the shot would be missed. Second, it starts to itch immediately, when you miss a shot it takes a few seconds before it starts to itch, and it only itches in the spot that you missed in. This feeling itches in my entire body, and its actually in my veins not on the surface of my skin. Also, i hit the shot just fine to begin with, so yea not a missed shot.

The reason i didnt get rid of it was, The dope was actually great quality. And the weird part is, ive done the same stamp from the same batch and not had this happen. It aint the specific dope stamp or batch that I was getting, it dont seem like. Becuz ive took out 7 bags out of a bundle, shot em and had this happen and get all nasty feeling. and then take the last 3 later on, shoot them and nothing happens I just get high nice and fine like normal. So if it was the dope itself then it would always cause this problem every time, but that aint the case, which is the confusing part. It aint a missed shot, and it aint the dope itself, and it most definately aint cotton fever lol, so WTF causes this?? Weird shit. I cant blame the dope since its been differerent batches and it dont make these shitty effects everytime i do it, only sometimes.
 
i got no idea girl, but I think you are smart enough to know to that's not normal and you should probably knock it off.

What if you just stacked 2 3-4 bag shots back to back? I don't really shoot often so idk how different that would be...

sounds like u need to quit boo and cotton fever isnt from used cotton its from cotton fibers that get in ur blood

it CAN be but it's actually very rare that it happen that way. most of the time it's from used and old cottons because they become contaminated with bacteria.

lacey, i'm really not sure what that is. i really wish i did because it doesn't sound too good, girl. it COULD possibly be a very intense histamine reaction, as i've heard of this happening to people before.. but i can't be too sure. i actually get this with morphines as you've said.. but when it happens to me it's not just "pins and needles". it's actually quite painful to me. somewhat how you've described it. just add "neck snapping in half" on the list of symptoms and it's exact.

i know how hard it is to throw out dope, but it sounds like it might be the best way to go. or sell it to someone who doesn't have that type of reaction to the same batch?

be careful, doll.
 
it does sound like a histamine reaction. I have had a few allergic reactions and it feels similar to what you are describing.
 
I don't know how true this is but I read on the NA website a story about some guy. He was shooting dope for years and he started to be allergic to it. The more he used the worse the effects were. Dunno if that's you, probably not but since no one else had that reaction I thought I'd bring it up. I'll try to find the file and post a link.

,

not necessarily, lacey. there's a probability that, before the dope was packaged, when it was being cut it wasn't evenly distributed throughout the gear.


so WTF causes this??

cut is the only explanation, really.

i wouldn't risk messing around with this gear anymore. it's anyones guess as to what could be in it. move onto a different stamp or batch or whatever.

edit - just re-reading and it sounds to me like it may be a weird histamine release. i don't know, my speculation is only as good as the next persons. but for something to be itching your veins it is definitely a contaminant in the dope.
 
I'd generally refer you to an old thread I made about this subject that outlines common culprits of dirty hits/dirty rushes.

http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=405653&highlight=dirty+hit+rush

Aside from the examples listed in that thread, something I left out that deserves special mention is a chemical called Acetylcodeine.

Recently European scientists have been paying more attention to this chemical, due to the recent renewed interest in Rx Diamorphine maintenance programs. To detect illicit vs licit Heroin use, they are developing tests for Acetylcodeine to determine if participants are using street Heroin on the side.

Acetylcodeine is proving to be present in larger quantities in illicit Heroin samples than previously thought, and is more toxic than Codeine, high doses resulting in seizures/convulsions in rats. It basically produces the same effects as intravenous Codeine (the kind of reaction you describe) but in smaller doses with a higher probability of death or serious health problems (convulsions/coma/death). Plus this side product is found in all illicitly manufactured Heroin regardless of method or region (Mexican brown powder, Mexican black tar, SEA #3/#4, SWA base, South American powder, NZ homebake, Slavic homebake,etc).

I have a hard time believing that.
 
^ Yeah me too but lacey's post reminded me of that so I just thought I throw it out there. :\

I can't find the original article.

After reading lacey's second post, what I wrote before is definitely not true since it doesn't always happen.
 
Sounds like an allergic reaction to one of the cuts. IF you should ever do it again, (not recommended) take a few benadryl about an hour beforehand.
 
Have you been shooting for years? It could be insoluble particulate matter that has collected over time inside your veins. It's a danger when injecting pills and god knows what all is in street H. Please go to a clinic or see a doctor.
 
Sounds like the reaction is dose dependent. You get it when you shoot 7, but not lower doses like three.

Taking that into account, and the fact that you didn't get this before, it's either a cut(adulterant or diluteant) or an impurity(ies) from the manufacturing process(like tchort said). Sad thing is we can't really narrow it down, but the solution is easy; shoot less or snort this stuff, and get a different batch.


It's not cotton fever or a missed shot. And it doesn't seem to be a histamine reaction, since that reaction doesn't just stay within the vein, it typically spreads to itching around the injection site and outwards, and to a rash, etc.


I know telling you to snort it isn't going to get listened to, but if you're going to insist on shooting it, don't over do it. Stick to the lower doses and have someone around when you do it.
