Ketamine & bleeding

^ 3.5 my friend

Just out of curiousity, there is 3.5 grams in an 8 ball am i right? is this just an American thing because in the UK, its most commonly sold in grams (powder).

What is the appeal of an 8 ball and why not just buy whole grams?

A lot of people like to sell in fractions of an ounce.

usually when you buy more it gets cheaper, and an 8ball is 1/8th of a ounce, which is a weight that we deal with alot aswell.

Can we clarify here, by 'down there' do you mean there's blood in your urine or you're bleeding vaginally like a period? I'm not directing this at the OP specifically, but what the fuck is this 'down there' shit? You can talk about plugging and shooting up, but you can't say vagina? jesus, we're in trouble.

Anyways, I've done a little reading (which I would be doing a LOT of if my junk was bleeding), and it looks like ketamine causes an increase in arterial blood pressure by 10% - 25% (from "Shnider and Levinson's anesthesia for obstetrics"). Your kidney's are VERY sensitive to raised blood pressure (hypertension is the #1 cause of kidney failure), and its possible that the dose that you're taking is causing your blood pressure to rise enough that your kidneys bleed. This would show up as blood in the urine, not vaginal blood.

If you're bleeding from your vagina (uterine bleeding), its possible the ketamine is affecting the muscle tone of your uterine walls, or your uterine blood supply directly (from the same source as above). In either case, I dont know how this would result in bleeding but there is some information that it has a direct effect on the uterus.

If it is in your urine, then stop taking ketamine immediately. If its blood pressure related, you're completely fucking your kidneys and you could end up on dialysis for the rest of your life if you keep at it. Kidneys wont take much abuse before they fail completely.

It's actually norketamine, a direct metabolite of ketamine, that is known to irritate the lining of the bladder and other excretory organs.
There are some great threads on this already if you run a search

Edit - props to blowmonkey didn't see his links.

In addition, 6-hydroxynorketamine, a metabolite in rats (at least) looks suspiciously acidic - though it's not physiologically active.

might be a bit late to the discussion but please OP reduce your K intake, maybe take a step back and analyze the situation a bit. bleeding might turn into something more serious (if it isnt already), and if a drug is the cause then you must control it. stomach pains are not a good sign either. all these symptoms might even want to make one increase their usage to get away fromt hem but that is not the solution.
please take care of your health first.


and about the "down there" (which i too find rather confusing). what exactly do you mean? like other said, it cuould be urinary bleeding, vaginal or even from the rectum (considering the stomach pains as well). might be hard to tell by ones self.

 

[Delsyd]

Ket forms crystals in your bladder. If you must snort so much K, drink an inhuman amount of water before, during, and after your session.

do you have a referance for this?
