I've been using IV heroin for just under a year now. Jumped on the needle after years of smoking looking for a better high. I've never been good at it and always had issues yet lately these have came to a head.
I have only been going in arms and hands. Lately my veins have been completely disappearing and I don't know why. In the last week they have just vanished. I've now totally exhausted them all. The ones I can see seem to be collapsed. How can people shoot up for years and this has happened to me under a year?
What does it mean when you have a big vein, get the needle in, get a register yet when I push it begins to burn like a miss... I then pull back again to check if still in and yes good flow of blood, in this case I'll end up missing. Are these collapsed? Does long term IV use of heroin cause blood pressure issues?
Would coming off for a week or two reset my veins and blood pressure? Even with a tourniquet now I cannot get any veins to pop.Im at my wits end and looking at hitting my jugular or femoral now as I'm stick to death of poking myself over ane over and nothing.
