Stimulants Question about dull rigs.

30 hours in and feeling sleep deprivation completely forgot i havent slept in almost 40 hours and ate barely anything. Been drinking alot of water but im seering crazy things. Colours are vibrant, not an mdma vibrant but its there, things are moving on the side of my vision and i cant think straight. Hoping I can sleep soon,
 
Yeah i just munched on some Macaroon chocolates, my stomach feels alot better, thankyou.

And if anyone could let me know if theres a way to tell if you got an abscess or infection from IVing, I dont really think I have either, but i'd like to know the signs anyways. Like would it be immediately noticeable or would it slowly get worse.. etc Or is their even a way to tell? Either way all input is welcome

I'd advise eating before you go to sleep. You get to sleep easier with something in your stomach and you won't feel quite as shit when you wake up.

Very good advice.

Also if you lie down, even though it is the last thing you want to do, helps alot. You don't have to sleep, just lie down and listen to some music, close your eyes and when you get up again you will be surprised at the improvement in the way you feel.

An abcess is a bump that is usually warm to the touch that may or may not hurt. You will know if you get one its not something thats easy to miss. Get some calories and some sleep before you get really paranoid.
 
Apply hot compresses to the sites a few times a day and apply a thin layer of antibiotic, vitamin E, other healing cream or scar gel. Don't use any of those sites for a while. Monitor them for infection. Hot compresses can decrease your risk of infection and help with healing. In the future, be prepared and have fresh rigs on hand! Not only is it VERY worth it to avoid destroying your veins, but you will be able to hit MUCH easier with a fresh needle.

I don't recommend trying to sharpen them, it's hard to do it properly and can leave tiny shards of metal on the needle, or actually make it rougher. There are plenty of other effective routes of administration instead of injection when you don't have proper supplies, especially for meth.
 
you need to get a new rig ASAP. my friend J once tried using a dull and BENT needle. it was bent at a near 45 degree angle. totally mangled his arm getting that thing in there. it was awful to watch. every city needs a needle exchange. i find it absurd that most do not. :/

i used to work at a hospital, though, and when the rooms were empty, the housekeepers were supposed to throw anything out in the open away. i always pocketed fresh and still packaged needles and syringes when i could because i have a lot of friends that shoot (though quite a few of them have croaked, lately). i was handing out fresh rigs left and right, though. just doing my part in harm prevention.
 
hell yeah. J used to ask if i wanted a bit of the shot now and then (i am all over pharmaceutical opiates all day) and i would now and then go for a tiny bit of the shot but only on days he had just put one of the new needles i gave him on his syringe and only when he would let me go first. hep C ain't nothin to fuck with.
 
I don't know i'f im ever going to get a come down, times now 2:12, I did a few shots of rum and bourbon and a couple beers. I feel a little buzzed but awake, no comedown affects and its 2am. We're at 34 hours without a come down now. This is litterly the longest ive been awake, and the longest ive been high in my life. I don't think I care for meth too much. I'm off to lay in complete darkness and hope it does something. Ill keep you posted on my arm, it hasn't gotten any better but i'm sure its becasue it needs sleep to heal... Well that's what i'm telling myself.

^ exactly! Look up needle exchanges in your area. It also pays to know the local laws.

Yeah there is a needle exchange a few train stops away from me, But at 11pm at night already wired on meth with one shot left I thought, no big deal one more shot.
I counted 24 wounds just on my left arm not to mention my right arm, with the same rig. And seeing that picture on the first page (of the needle wear down) is really freaking me out. I really hope I didn't do any serious damage but it's seeming really unlikely I didn't. This will most likely be my last IV session, I always said if i ever lost control because of drugs ill admit I have a problem and stop. I think stabbing myself repeatedly for half a syringe of meth qualifies as that. Im sorry i neglected you nasal passages, please take me back.
 
Man I have been were you have been before when I used to smash MS Contins and Meth at the same time. A lot of my veins in my arms are like spider veins where the proper veins used to be it's not good and you don't want to get to the stage. I don't IV anymore but even if I wanted to I think I have one okay vein on my left arm at the crook and even that has sunk pretty deep.

Like others have said though, (most) of us have been where you are right now. You are getting yourself worked up because this is a new drug for you. Like SD said, get some vitamine E cream for your arms, have a decent meal (try and get a Subway or something), keep your fluids up and have a good sleep.

Yeah I don't plan on ever trying to sharpen, and Yes, i'm definitely taking care of the wounds, they look alot better now, I bought a gram of weed from my roommate last night and smoked bowl after bowl while drunk until I felt almost sick but not sick, got into bed and passed out probably 5 minutes later. Just woke up now feel pretty good, I dont feel sober but I don't think I'm high, I don't know how to describe it, not my normal self though, I had probably 8 hours of sleep. Now time to get clean and munch out. I miss food.

EDIT: My roommates had skin cream with Vitamin E in it conveniently on the table when I went upstairs.. I have litterly never seen it in this house before, So I got that on, had some eggs and sausages, and got a shower, feel pretty good, kind of normal I guess I slept completely through the comedown or something? I'm not complaining though.

Thanks again guys.

Oh man, that makes me cringe.

Go to your local pharmacy and ask your pharmacist for a "10 pack of 29-31g insulin syringes, 50 or 100cc." You can buy 30 needles for less than the cost of a "bag" of the drugs you will be loading them with.

Use them only once, then put them in a sharps container, or a thick plastic container, and write "HOME SHARPS" with a sharpie, and place them in the container. Check for a needle exchange in your area to get new syringes for FREE, and if you don't have one, then just order the syringes online for mad cheap.

HIV and Hep C spread at a disgustingly fast rate... please don't share snorting straws, cover your pookies with your own rubber mouthpiece, and never use a syringe more than once to have a fighting chance at keeping that disgusting shit away from your body.
