I developed a neurological condition and unusual and abnormal temperature problems following an overdose on MDMA and speed 7 years ago. I had been taking drugs for many years at raves untill one day something went horribly wrong. Unfortunately to this day neurologist or specialist have not been able to solve my overheating problem as what happened to me is very rare and uncommon.
It all started when I was having sex high on a coctail of meth and ecstacy when suddenly I dint feel right, I went numb all over from the severe overheating, I had never felt so hot and uncomfortable before, my vision went dark and blury and I felt erratic, confused. It felt like death. Every breath seemed like I was breathing in ammonia or some sort of chemical fumes it was short and sharp. I immedeatly ran to the bathroom feeling and thinking that it would be the day I die. I jumped under the cold shower. This helped slightly except for the muscle spasms. As soon as I got out of the shower I began to overheat again, so I went back under and stayed there for an hour or two until I managed to cool down slightly. Eventually when i got out I was suprised that I had survived.
Several weeks later following that experience I went to rave where I decided to try the smallest amount of speed, I thought the overdose I had experienced previously was just bad lucksor one off experience, but to my Shock and horror even a the tiniest taste of meth brought back the overheating. I dint understand what was going on especially after years of taking drugs and having good experiences, and now this ?!?
I dint wanna accept that i'd developed some sort of drug allergy or sensitivity so once again the following week I very cautiosly tried a quarter of an ecstacy tablet which was said to be quite mild by my friends. That night I had sever chest pains and overheating once again and was taken to hospital. The next day upon release from hospital when i tried to walk I continued to have chest pains since, this was the start of something that would last for years.
Eventually after getting diagnosed by specialists and neurologists I had found i developed a condition known as dysautonomia (dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system) along with a very bizarre overheating problem. The unfortunate incident left me overheating with unstable body temperatures. I was constantly overheating, even in winter. I couldn't go out into the sun or warm places. My body was generating so much heat that i spent a lot of time indoors trying to cool down with the aid of an air conditioner. I lost the ability to sweat which added to the problem.
I've had several visits to the hospital emergency room since with fevers and high temperatures caused by the damage from the seretonin syndrome or od. Each one mainly after sexual activity. The worst being documented at 38.1c (100.6 f). There was no infections or any other problems present at the time.
My temperature dysfunction had began after the drug overdose whilst having sex and as bizarre as it sounds the overdose caused the initial damage and started the autonomic failure and then a few days later climaxing during sex further malfunctioned my temperature and left me with many years of overheating.
Further sexual activity continued aggrivate and distrupt my temperature by causing rapidly fluctuating unstable temperatures, feeling uncomfartably hot, nauseaus and unwell.
I also experience, chills, rapid pulse, shivering and severe muscle spasm particularly in jaw and thighs every time i get aroused.
If anyone has any advice or has heard of any other people with similar problems please let me know. At the moment I feel very alone in this. Like i said ive been diagnosed with a autonomic illness but the overheating still remains unknown. My autonomic specialist have also found genetic changes to my DNA which has been methylated by the binding protein MeCP2 as a result of the dysautonomia.
