Cotcha this is body temperature Issue and muscles soreness linkend to serotonin problem I think but idk for sure and one question why the left side of the body feels weaker then the right.anyway There's two parts where heat is Control on the body one on the neck and one where the serotonin is produced. You should do a research on this. Because everyone on here but not all is suffering from overheating including me them men I regret every single day that I ever did this awful drug.

As far as one sided weakness that could be some sort of nerve compression, as has been seen with MDMA users anecdotally (myself included), probably from excess fibrosis, so stretching is important. If you detail where the weakness is I might be able to suggest muscles to stretch, but it could also be something from the vertebrae

The temperature dysregulation could be due to thalamus dysregulation, the center midbrain is generally what controls autonomic function and some communication abnormalities have been spotted in fMRI studies of abstinent MDMA users. People also get dysautonomia without having ever used drugs so there might be a genetic component to autonomic dysfunction induced by MDMA.

I must even force them to take a shower I can not even watch a movie in peace, because I am present again, I do not know how long I can stand still. It's so exhausting:(

I remember trying to watch a movie when my depression was at its worst. I would put on the happiest movie I could think of and it would still seem like the most depressing movie ever. The depression was so agonizing and not having anything that could distract me from it made it absolutely unbearable. Trust me what your going through right now will pass! You just have to get through it, and believe me I know how impossible that can seem. in a year or 2 you'll be back on this site helping the next batch of unlucky MDMA users.

Can you please stop spamming this thread. My helpful post which i posted 2 weeks ago is on page 4.. Calm down or go visit a psychologist...

This is really unnecessary. Part of what makes this thread so great is that it gives an outlet for people having a rough time. We should be supporting her not making her feel worse.
 
I have now had two days back to back virtually symptom free. Thats the longest I've gone since this whole thing started. Still some head pressure now and then but nothing too distracting. I wouldn't say i'm out of the woods yet (this has been a crazy roller coaster of getting better and then worse) but I'm optimistic. Good luck to everyone recovering!

Please, go to a doctor. A psychiatrist will help you with medication and you will start feeling better. You sound like you are on a constant panic attack. You will not get better on your own.

I think she will get better on her own but it will take a lot of time, and it's better to get see a psychiatrist...
 
I have on Monday a further appointment with the psychiatrist, I have been here at 6 and no one could help me
 
For anyone on here a good exercise is to jump or walk up and down the stairs but still not the answer or maybe on the long run but idk . But I do think YouTube hold the answer for us because our voice can be heard there to the people and the world, I might make a channel and when it gets huge it will be a different story..

For everybody who is still struggling with an LTC...... Look into MERCURY POISONING!!!!!

ESPECIALLY if you took lipoic acid around the same time, which is commonly recommended.

There is a method of mdma synthesis called the aluminum reaction that involves mercury. The final product can be contaminated with mercury if not properly washed out. If you took alpha lipoic acid, like I did, at a time when you are exposed to any mercury in your body, lipoic acid can form a bond with the mercury and then allow it to cross the blood-brain barrier where it will deposit and cause absolutely debilitating symptoms. I have been struggling myself for about a year now. It has wrecked my life. A classic sign of mercury poisoning is the "head pressure" that everybody here talks about, and feeling like you have a tight band around your head.

I had the head pressure and nearly every other symptom people on here have been complaining about with the LTC's including muscle twitching, depersonalization, derealization, panic attacks, tingling and numbness on my nose / face, sinus issues (my sinuses got so swollen that they couldn't drain, and I needed surgery), itchy skin, food sensitivities (different from a typical food allergy), extremely debilitating brain fog and cognitive function, spaceyness, depression/emotional numbness, social withdrawl, severely increased allergies / itchy skin, chronic fatigue but feeling "wired" at the same time, insomnia, and more...


The best thing you can do for yourself is to start working with a functional medicine doctor.
They will map your genetics and see if you have any genetic variations that may inhibit your ability to excrete heavy metals. For example, a variation in MTHFR:A1298C has been shown to cause issues with heavy metal clearance. Ask for a genetic test through 23andMe and they will interpret it for you, and also a provoked mercury urine test. <---- this test is controversial as to it's usefulness amongst conventional medical establishment, but if it shows elevated mercury, and you treat for elevated mercury, and your symptoms improve, what more could you ask for? Most testing is extremely unreliable for a case of chronic mercury poisoning where it has integrated into your cells and tissues. It binds to spots on enzymes where beneficial metals like zinc would typically be, and makes the enzyme ineffective. This hinders your body's ability to do work.

I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, taking huge amounts of methylfolate and methylB12 daily, and have begun to slowly pull mercury out my body with chelation agents. My life has drastically tremendously since I figured out about mercury toxicity 3 months ago. Only 5 months ago I was in a pit of dispair about my LTC and thought my life was completely fucked with no way out. Now there is hope, and I am improving. If your LTC turns out to be mercury toxicity, it will still take a long time to get back to normal, but you can climb your way out of this mess. Don't get stuck on thinking you've done permanent damage.


A good resource on how to treat is to look into Dr. Chris Shade.

Careful with chelating agents. They can chelate more than just Mercury.

Right, you can't just jump right into the chelation process. You need to learn about it first and it's very important to do it correctly, or you could potentially damage yourself further. It requires taking multi-mineral supplements to replace any beneficial metals that will come out. It's best to do it supervised by a doctor.
 
what really bothers me that I remain hanging on every thought, not think that makes me really finished, my head gets stuck at any shit, I think because not simply

Do you think I can now drink a little alcohol, I go after a hard and I'm not sure.

I have come to enjoy alcohol moderately(at least for me), after being a full-blown alcoholic at a pretty young age. As I get older, it gets easier for me to use drugs responsibly, but I still have to remember that the line is one I never want to cross again. The A.A. dogma is not for everyone...sometimes harm reduction and responsible use trumps total abstinence in quality of life...sometimes it doesn't...you have to know your own body/brain and recognixze which substances could be helpful,which could be harmful, and all aspects in between....self-control can prevail.....not that I recommend it for people coming fresh off full blown addiction/dependency. Your receptors need time to reset and first a taper/detox is in order in that case. Also, I am in no way advocating relapse to those in recovery who are maintaining abstinence.....sometimes a clean break is necessary for safety/quality of life of an individual and if 12-step programs,religion,or SMART recovery,etc. Just because it cannot work for me, does not mean it doesn't work wonders for many..family members of mine included. But to you Muldentier: Not sure what your d.o.c. is, but I would definitley steer clear of that for quite awhile, but just because you have a couple drinks or smoke a little bud does not mean you full-blown relapsed..I mean even M.D.'s prescribe drugs for their addiction patients to help maintain and not go back to full blown hard drug or alcohol addiction.
 
I drank a little alcohol and I was fine. This was however first the last time I'd finally it gets better. My doctor has unfortunately shifted the date, now I have only in 7 weeks to schedule. Today I feel a little better, the only point of me so much bother I understand that nothing is so exhausting, please tell me that :( the even pieces I have no desire and no force more me with such stupidity beating a :(
 
I met ex boyfriend with my, I had sex with him, but I am not so relaxed, I can no longer kiss relaxed and the movement were also cramped, which comes with time again knows that someone of you, I am totally cramped in every movement and can not drop me, dancing while yesterday, I just want a little bit of my old I return or it is jetz died forever, I can not remember what I can do ..
