So, I recently I acquired some single gram of MXE, and, after a trepidatious waiting period, decided to take a small allergy dose. I took 1 mg and waited, then after I decided it wasn't going to kill me, I took 5 mg.. this of course led to redosing and a very nice buzz for a few hours.
Having tried it, I waited 5 days and tried it again, around 45 mg, combined with 45 mg dpt, and had a nice trip and all. HOWEVER,
as the effects started to wear down I started to expireince collicy kidney pain, of raising intensity.
At the time I thought it was just a stone that had already been there, that the dehydration from the day before had made me start passing it. I thought it a bit odd, as I am generally very healthy, however, I do consume a lot of protein, and oxalates -> ... etc.
I thought nothing of it, despite the intense pain until I started to have urinary retention.
I worried for a short while, but eventually passed the stone and in a stream of urine. At the time I didn't think about it, but the stone passing didn't hurt.. As in, I didn't really feel it at all. Anyway, I calmed down, thinking the ordeal over, as the pain subsided. But a few hours later the pain was back and FAR FAR FAR worse. (for context.. it takes a lot of pain to make me cry.. as in, I have never cried from pain before, and I've endured a lot.. but I broke down from these kidney pains..) I ended up going to urgent care, they sent me to the emergency room, and 8 hours, a cat scan, iv drip, and a lecture from a doctor about how if I can afford to eat I can afford health care, even if I don't have insurance later I left, feeling a bit better.
I was told I had another stone, 5 mm, that I should pass soon, and to keep drinking (but it should pass very soon with the amount of fluid I was given). I filtered my urine for a week... but the stone never past... the pain didn't return...
I waited two weeks and then decided (after enrolling in medi-cal) to take a dose looking for the elusive m-hole. I achieved it, drank fuck tonnes of water, and what not. But even still I had terrible collicy kidney pains the next day.. which eventually subsided with a combination of norco, lemon juice, and water.
I had heard of, and read about the kidney issues and bladder toxicity etc. of prolonged or high dose usage, however, my dosage never exceeded 70 mg.. and I consumed a total of ~160 mg over the course of 3 and a half weeks.. and I received these symptoms after my first usage. (since doing this, I've done lots of research into the matter, and it seems ketamine can clump together inside the kidney, in a gummy type blockage, as a form of uropathy, but STILL, never on a first usage, and only after prolonged/high dose usage
