Yeah, Id would have to say that during the 3 years i used every day the only sickness I ever felt was from when I didnt have any dope.
 
idk if i'm different but i like to w/d when im sick, idk why but my only kinda withdrawl is i wanna run or drive somewhere just very restless and energetic.
 
don't really believe that. It's either just a coincidence or you're not in contact with many people when you do dope hence not getting sick or you don't notice when you have a minor cold because you are high. Opiates prevent cough, mask pain, can give you energy, or relax you. They are basically the perfect mask for a illness. I remember thinking this a few times when I was using opiates hard core, but then I started to keep an eye on myself closely. I noticed that a few times I had a sore throat but couldn't feel it cause I was so high. The way I could tell was because my throat was so swollen that it was hard to swallow and my glands were swollen as well, but I sure as hell didn't feel sick. It was crazy how much it covered it up especially if you didn't think about any of the symptoms because most of the time it would be the dope or opiates causing hot flashes, or maybe you thought you were starting to w/d. Damn, I even thought that it was the opiates causing my throat to swell up, but it was just a bad cold/sore throat

I think it actually lowers your immunity but it sure as hell makes being sick easier to tolerate.

If you're not dependant I would skip them for now and wait until you're feeling better.
 
ive been doin gear for nearly 10 yrs now and the only time ive ever been ill was when ive been clean for a couple of months.2 christmasses ago, i was clean and got chronic food poisoning on new years eve and the only thing that sorted it was a nice fat crank.i didnt care that it would get me back on the gear i was so ill off this dodgy chicken i thought i was gonna die.after a little crank first to test the water i put a bag and half on the spoon and it fixed the food poisoning within 10 minutes.i guarantee it'll sort your cold out straight away!
 
I've seen studies that suggest some effects similar to immunosupression. I would have to agree with the other users though, I don't get sick (as long as the supply is ok), and if I do it just doesn't seem so bad. I can't remember the last time I had to call in sick- when I had an ok supply.

According to this paper, on page 5:

Marked Immunosuppression: Morphine

Moderate Immunosuppression: Codeine, Diacetyl morphine, Dihydrocodone, Fentanyl, Methadone Pethidine.

Minimal Immunosuppression: Buprenorphine, Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, Tramadol.

So H fits in the middle in terms of immunosuppression.

This thread is kind of old, but for anyone that is thinking about doing this, I would suggest that you do not, as my personal experience is that every time I use H for a cold/flu I get myself a habit.
