Alright, i know most people aren't going to believe me, cause I wouldn't believe this either if it didn't happen to me first hand.

I've been on a fairly heavy week on, day off IV Meth bender for about a month. Average dose is about .2 up to three or four times a day.

I've always had issues with my salivary glands, I've had both stones and abscesses even before I started I started using, so I knew what i needed to do when they got blocked up. I drained the blocked gland, went to sleep and hydrated. Unfortunately, it swelled back up overnight to the point it actually ripped an inch long laceration right under the gland itself.

This is where it gets weird, and I have not been able to find a single line suggesting what this could be. I felt what I originally thought to be a gland stone, but found out right away i was quite wrong. By now, my glands on both sides were completely blocked. I felt from behind the jaw and started squeezing forward a long object. Then another. There's three on the right side, two on the left. They range in size from about 1mm to 5mm diameter and all around 4 cm long. They are flexible enough to follow the track, and too big/painful to get out through the ducts.

I went to get antibiotics, but they wouldn't give me an CT Scan since I have no insurance. I was seen by a nurse who felt around my mouth for15 seconds and wrote me antibiotics. I tried asking her to take a better look, but she was already walking away. Didn't even feel the inside, only under my jaw.

Now if you're still reading, and haven't yet assumed I'm a fuckin lunatic, this will probably do it for you. But every word in this thread is true. I know this because I thought I was losing it and had a few other people confirm my crazy suspicions. I was quite surprised when I found out I was right...

Anyways, I was sitting at home yesterday, sober, and dozed off on the couch. I woke up around 1:30 from the damn opiate dreams (I've been clean from H for 31 days today, I'm PROUD AS FUCK to say) and couldn't fall back asleep. I ended up pushing these huge tube like objects far enough back to let out some blocked saliva. There ended up being quite a bit by this time.

That's when I realized, now keep in mind it had been 30+ hours since my last dose, that what just squirted in my mouth tasted like straight up Crystal. I couldn't fuckin believe it, I WAS GETTING HIGH AS FUCK! I didn't really believe that this was happening, I thought it must be in my head, euphoric recall.

I checked in the mirror and sure as shit, my friends, my pupils were saucers. I need to double check the rules on posting pictures, but I'll figure it out and get back to you. Sorry guys, I know this is long-winded, but I need to find out if this has ever happened to anyone. Thanks for your patience!!
 
Well this shit all came to one hell of a conclusion today. After three days of taking 300mg Clindomyacin 4 times a day, the infection was still spreading.

First to my neck with about 6 boils. Then I must have started picking at my chin in my sleep, Cause I woke up with a massive boil on my cheek/jawline. After trying to pass as not 183% sick for most of the day, the infection must have started to affect my brain.

I didn't know what was going on, I was trying to text my girl, telling her something was seriously wrong, but I couldn't use my motor skills at all. I ended up getting delerious and stupid. I had tears in my eyes, and I'm sure I scared my girl to death, cause I absolutely thought I was gonna die before I got to the hospital.

Anyways, I made it to the ER, they did an MRI and blood tests. Turns out I had MRSA (I assume from banging Meth) t they pumped me full of antibiotics and sent me on my way
 
I had a SDS in my right gland at age 9, took antibiotics for a few weeks, about a month later, it went away.

There's many reasons why you get them and in my case, it was due to constant strep throat/bacteria.

Warm compress, meds, can help. Sometimes they will dissolve on own, sometimes surgical removed.

They are fucking painful, swelling, dry mouth, I remember that much.

SDS is more common in meth users. Drink lots of water, chew gum, eat candy, anything to produce spit.

Hope you feel better.
