Gibberings CXXXV11 : Come On Tim!!!!

[*dharmabum*]

Can an online radio station be a pirate station? I thought anyone could start a stream using SHOUTcast or similar.

Quite a few pirate stations (ie tower block studio broadcasting over FM) also stream their shows online so that people in other cities / countries can listen

 

[Ben So Furry]

Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Pagey]

Oh hey Ben, how are you?

I can't figure out where to ask this, sorry...has anyone had heart problems after using lots of stims for a while? I binged a bit last week and in the past couple of days I've had a lot of trouble breathing and my heart really hurts. Also I can't go up a couple stairs without my chest feeling completely compressed. This has literally never happened before and I'm getting a bit worried. I dunno if I should wait a bit more and see if it passes or if I should go to the ER?

(oh yeah and I've been completely sober for about 30 hours)

 

[gayorstraight]

Pagey, hey!

Do you feel anxious in anyway? Have you got a benzo to take? What's your pulse? Anything above 100bpm resting and you should think about going to check yourself out.

Importantly of all, don't panic

 

[Pagey]

Yeah I feel really on edge. My pulse is at about 110 bpm even though it's usually around 60, and I've just been sitting at a desk all day I'll take a benzo and see if I can get an appointment for tomorrow or something. Thanks

 

[mydrugbuddy]

It is. Except skiing unless you do it on a dry slope.

Richard Branson has said the ban on khat is a pointless step backwards in the war on drugs.



Full blog post.

Good on Mr Branston Pickle, the more people like him speak up the better. Cant believe how good i feel, never been so happy in my life, not sure if its the sun or the bupe. If its the bupe im gonna have a very big problem indeed.

Benzos are the way forward. I added a lass I vaguely know through a friend the other night cos we got into a wall convo and we've the same sense of humour and all. Apparently I was chatting her up last night cos she wanted some benzos and I'm like 'ohhh yeah no probs baby'

Facepalm. She's totally my type but I am also totally devoted to someone else. Be cool to hang out with her when she is home though, we've got a lot in common. And if this ever goes tits up, who knows? But naw I love my girl to bits, I need to get to go see her this week, keep getting 'I love you come home' messages and she's suffering bad anxiety, says she only wakes up panic attack free if I'm with her

In other exciting news, clever old me ate a shit load of etiz the other night, then woke up and started on the cider around lunch yesterday, standard ten can box, usually has me pleasantly tipsy because I am fat and also a heavy drinker.

Apparently I tried to BBQ something and fell into the water trough, fell off the decking into the hedges, and fell asleep on the grass. Must research half lives a bit better. Plus side, fuck all hangover :D

Hope ya manage to chill a bit anyway, Pagey

temporarily yeah. it was sort of a regular expectance from a stim binge after a while.

anything more specific on the stims in question? methamphetamine physically seemed less draining on the body than pre ban mephedrone and all that goes with it. my palpitations at time seriously scared the fuck out of me. i would be lieing down just trying to rest and then involuntary jolt upright

I would advise taking the benzo and try and chill out for an hour. If there's no shift downwards in bpm maybe try and get an appointment today? I'm not trying to freak you out; this was just the advice I was given the other day when in hospital my pulse went haywire.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

yes Pagey take a benzo or 2 and get to the hospital. No need to panic but get things checked out asap, if you smoke cigarettes try to lay off them as they will only make things worse.

It might just be arythmia or something, try breathing excercises, slow breath in through mouth exhale through nose, and use your finger tips to slowly point out a question mark on yourself with each breath, chin, left ear, foehead, chest, and repeat, sounds bizzare but its a good calming technique a CBT trainer taught me.

 

[Pagey]

^Okay thanks...I haven't smoked in like 10 days and definitely won't for a while with this going on. I'll do those exercises you mentioned and go to the hospital tonight if the benzos haven't helped in the next couple of hours. Thanks a lot

Aw, just try to be flattered without doing anything? Thanks anyway

Ah okay that's a bit reassuring, thanks. How long did it usually last?
This was a lot of IV cocaine and a lot of aMT (not at the same time, mind).

Okay cheers I've taken the benzo, fingers crossed. Hope you're recuperating well btw

Sounds like a plan, that! Honestly, if you hadn't said that, the situation would have gone tits up incredibly fast haha, I never consider the simple things.

But yeah when I used stims heavily I'd get the chest pain and tightness of breath but it'd pass, a lot of it was just comedown anxiety I think, but it never hurts to check things out if you're worried.

mephedrone days? would be with until sunday evening sometimes into monday from a friday night session into the saturday. i have done what i suppose to some people is high dose amt (around 150 mg freebase in 24 hours, i have no idea on quality) and no issues like this so if i had to hazard i guess i would say the coke. i really dont know anything about iving the stuff though.

Haha, glad I could help!

Yeah, I don't really want to get checked out cuz I'm not sure what the laws are here when it comes to getting medical help cuz of drug use...but I am kinda worried, mostly because I've been on considerably bigger binges and nothing remotely similar has ever happened before

Yeah I've never had this from either the aMT or coke. It started on the comedown from about 70mg aMT saturday night and it just hasn't calmed down since. Anyway yeah if it's not better in a bit I think I'll get it checked out, better safe than sorry and all that.

 

[adam west]

only negs ive really had from amt aside from usual tiredness etc was that i did have a bit of vertigo for a couple of days afterwards once after a heavy weekend.

yeah youre right better safe than sorry, but i bet it will be nothing

 

[gayorstraight]

You don't need to tell them about the drugs really. They'll assume you're just anxious and panicky and give you an ECG which is actually quite relaxing! They'll check your blood pressure and monitor you for a little bit.

But, as you say, wait for the benzos to work their magic. You'll be 'right

 

[adam west]

You don't need to tell them about the drugs really.

i reckon thats pretty much a given. maybe your gp is pretty understanding or whatever but it all goes on record on a basic level.

I just wouldn't ever mention drug use in this situation. Anything can cause Pagey's symptoms

 

[Pagey]

Oh okay, figured it would probably important to mention the drugs but I won't then. The benzo doesn't seem to be helping at all...I'll try to get an appointment with my GP, would kind of like to avoid the ER. Thanks again

 

[Mendo_K]

Where abouts are you and do you mean FM pirates or ones that you can access by online streams?

Also what kinda music?

South Manchester, but I think it covers most of manc, only discovered it searching through but it's only on the weekends, Blitz FM it came up as. Was giving a shout out to the listeners in strange ways just as I was tuning in lol think they have a webby also though.

Spent most of my day in the outdoor pool at the gym, £3.60 in but had a BBQ on the go as well, looks hot all the way to Saturday as well, good 2 weeks to have no work
