KETAMINE Can eny one help me ?

[KHoledHippy]

I am a ketamine addict I have used ketamine for 6+ years (3years extremely hard up to 4g a day snorting and IM) for them 3 years I never went a day without at least 1g of K. I first took ketamine at 16 at a party snorting a very little amount. I enjoyed it and started to get K on Friday nights out. About 2+ years after first taking K I started using the drug very often (4-5 times a week). My tolerance became a joke to get a 1/2 decent buzz I would have to snort 1-2 grams. my lines went from like 0.1g to 0.5g. While Living in a local hostel for a short time I learnt how to IM ketamine. I would regally IM ketamine daily and was still holding down my job (barely). I would take 1-2 grams with me to work which I would sniff small lines throughout my shift and would IM as soon as I got home. I soon lost this though as my attendance was getting ridicules due to my habit. I soon turned to dealing K just to keep up my habit and my life just went to shit basically. I lost my girlfriend of 5+ and I can 100% see why. My life style was horrid I looked like shit all the time and 3/4 of the day I was completely out of it on K. Not long after I started to notice my health starting to suffer as well. I was pissing dribbles out at a time but felling like I needed to piss constantly. I herd about K causing bladder problems so I went to my doctors. I told them about my use and my problems they sent me to a local hospital to have scans on my bladder,stomach,kidneys and liver. The doctor said that my bladder had started to shrink in size and the walls of it would soon scar up and basically fall apart due to my use. I was soon scared out of use by finding out if I was to carry on I would most likely damage my bladder to the point it could never repair to 100% and would need a operation to take out my bladder. I slowly cut back on my habit within about 4-5 months and got to the point of using 1-2 times a week. I set a date to completely go without and keep clean for 2 months. After my small relapse I went a good month before relapsing one more time . Then due to a bad dry patch I stayed clean for over 1/2 a year. I now take K once every couple months . Im back working and am settled in my own flat and have recently been back to hospital for a check up. My bladder is still a small size (around 30% smaller than a male in there early 20s should have) and I still do not piss a normal amount (though it has got a lot better than what it was). The doctors are not sure how long it will take for my bladder to heal back to a normal size but are very confident that it will go back to near 100% if im to stay clear of regular use.


Im basically wondering if there's any one that knows how long it will take for my bladder to get back to 100% ?

I love K and cant seem to comply stop even though I take it very little now (no more than 10 times last year).
I still need to use the toilet 10+ times a day and 1-2 times a night. And am embarrassed to use the toilet whilst people are around (due to the fact It takes me 2-3 mins to piss and i sometimes make wired noises as is such a relief when I do manage to piss ).


so if any one dose have info plz share as I need to find out as no doctor can say ?
THANKS

I think the doctors will be your best source of information on how long you can expect the healing to take. Remember that even if 10 people responded on here, everyone's body is different even with the same use. Is there any way that you could find what ketamine gives you through some other experience? It seems to me that with the dmage done to your bladder that even 10 times a year is going to prohibit healing.

yes sadly most doctors have no idea when it comes to ketamine most doctors don't know nothing about it. It was only when a friend told me that the damage ketamine can do to a person bladder when abusing K and that's why I was getting these problems. I had to tell the doctor that it was ketamine that was giving me this problems as a while before when I was first noticing these problems I went to the doctor about it and they put it down to a infection. Like I said I really cant see my self stopping 100% and the only reason I have is due tho my health. Even though not being dependent on it no more had really been great

This might help, its kinda vague and near the bottom, but this is at least a start. Good luck.

As far as I know the bladder damage is permanant once you get to the stage of pissing out lumps of the lining, but I might be wrong. I know two people who have had bladder transplants which implies it won't repair itself. Maybe that only happens when you get to absolute crisis point though. Maybe you're proving my assumptions wrong though!

Well done on gettting clean, it's been so nice to see certain close friends of mine who were daily users in quite large quantities being forced to quit because of the drought. They've become happy and bright again and it's beautiful to see. I used pretty heavily for a while but nver enough to get bladder damage. I went through periods of needing to piss all the time and then not being able to and it hurting when I did mange, but nothing serious like blood or lumps. My blader is fine now, and actually one of my best mates who was a daily user for years and got clean because of the drought seems to be a bit better with the pissing situation. Just before the drought kicked in I went round her house and out of the ~four hours I was there I would say she was in the toilet trying to piss approximately 50% of the time. She's not like that anymore, but we still can't go more than about 45 minutes on a car journey before she needs to piss

Good luck with keeping away from regular use. Fuck knows why there has been such a massive and sudden drought, it's got to be something more tha just india tightening there controls because so much comes fromm china anyway. I'm suprised the market hasn't been flooded with chinese k to take advantage of the india situation. There's so little about I went to a squat party in London and couldn't find any. Madness. There was talk of a dude selling grams for £40 but I couldn't find him and I'm not worries about wanndering around shouting anyone got k for sale. The wholesale prices have just gone crazy as well, and I've seen some fucking dubious 'ketamine' about.

Anyway, I hope things improve for you. I'm glad the medical community are finally cottoning on to both the addiction aspect and the physiological damage ketamine causes. Ketamine ruled the lives of a massive proportion of people I know (including me for a while. It can be an extremely damaging drug. On the whole I'm glad of the drought because so many people I care about have been forced in to sorting themselves out and it's great to see. Sucks when you're at a party and just want some though (which I really shouldn't be doing). The positive aspect of the drought massively outweighs the the negative though, I'm glad it happened and no longer have a reliable source because it means I can't slip back in to it.
