Health - the cocaine and muscular contractions, pain / twitching / tingling thread

[snowyrabbit]

does anyone else get jaw pain? cause mine is hurting..and my teeth are tingling.idont know if its cause im chewing on gum all day or is this a medical issue.

[bcStoner420]

Common side effect of CNS stimulants, due to jaw clenching, and in this case chewing gum probably made it worse, though counteracted grinding of the teeth. As for your teeth tingling, if your a heavy coke user this might be a sign of a more seriouse problem beginning.

[b16a]

As for the tingling in your teeth (SWIM's favorite part of gettin' high), this is probably the best indicator of good stuff. It's an unavoidable part of doing blow and will be more or less pronounced depending on the condition of SWIY's teeth.

[Nagognog2]

ALL long-term users of CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, wind up losing their teeth. Eventually. Not over night. So if you can afford buying coke, also figure you will need to afford dentures at some point.

Hey guys,
new to the site, just had a couple questions. I have been using cocaine for years now. In the past I was doing large ammount average a couple of grams a day until one night I did a little too much and ended up in the hospital for an overdose. I suffered a seizure and the doctor warned me not to do cocaine ever again. I ignored his advice of course, but found that I could not dp as much at a time as I used to. In fact now I have to do very small ammounts at a time. Anyways...

My question is, What is the difference between cocaine that is crunchy, and cocaine that is soft and smushy.

Last question, tonight I did some lines and now my left arm is tingly and kind of numb and is starting to scare me. Anyone know what it could be? THanks.

DO you do smaller amounts because you are scared to OD again?

Crunchy cocaine is in my experience just dryer, i guess completely dry so it breaks.
Softer cocaine is wetter/damper so its more malleable so it smushes.

And did you snort the cocaine through your left nostril? because i have noticed that the side i snort through feels the anesthetic affect more.

Maybe it fell alseep, or maybe u had a heart atack(which i doubt but its the nly other thing i can think of) But i would say its from the coke.

If the cola is hard that usually means it's heavily cut with some other powder. Cocain high in purity doesn't dry that hard...The best stuff always looks pearly, and usually flakes off without much trouble.
That stuff that shoots across the room whenever you're chopping is b.s.
Everyone tells SWIM that he gets fantastic stuff though, and you kind of have to deal with whats in your area...SWIM could never do the stuff he started on in Germany anymore...not after that fine Peruvian Flake thats all over Texas in the big cities

[Shadybab]

Yeah I snorted it in my left nostril. But now it seems like it is causing a rash throughout my arm. It may be because i have have rubbing it all night. I dunno

[yay!yaaayy!]

The rash is prolly from your rubbing your arm...But I just did a line through the left about 10min ago and I do notice a little more effect on that side...not that noticeable though

[Sickness Life]

You are paranoid about OD'ing again its stressing you out, Raising your blood pressure making your heart beat faster restricting your arteries... Calm down quit for awhile and dont do so much.

I have had similar experiences my toe went numb for months however it was stress not any health problem i find that out 3 grand later on doctor bills.

But go get a EKG done to be safe, if your hearts not damaged its stress if your hearts damaged dont be stupid stop using coke and smoking too while your at it an start excersising you dont wanna die do u lol

But ya, I would say its probolly stress its common to have numbing/tingling sensations when your extremly stressed or anxiety but its subconcious alot so you dont even notice it, Quit an get bak in slow build up your confidence an confront your anxiety

[Yeahsme]

The tingling in the arm is probably a direct result from the cocaine, swim has had that effect many times on the yay. If I were you though, I would not be ever doing cocaine again. swims cousin had a similar doctors warning and ignored it, then died at 26 years old.

Oh I forgot to address this...happens all the time--some is the surge in dopamine levels...most of its poor circulation to the extremeties...SWIM's feet usually go numb...To stop it chew 2 baby aspirin when ever it starts...that thins the blood and allowsbetter circulation

Most people that do lots of blow are typically less physically active than non-users, and generally get very little exercise. These people are more at risk for heart related problems, especially during or after activities that accelerate the heart rate (i.e. using cocaine). A tingle in the left arm or fingertips is a sign of a struggling heart. Secondly, the softer the coke, the better. The crunchiness comes for being cut. The more crunch, the more buff. Really crunchy coke, at least where SWIM is from, is synthetic (HCL) that is 100% chemically manufactured and contains many ingredients - none of which are real or "natural" cocaine.

does this apply to all parts of the body? swim has been up for a while on it and every now and then when swim stands up from sitting swim gets a major head rush and his head and neck starts tingling. only lasts for 5-10 minutes. it kinda feels good but now that swim read this he was concerned.

[AceOvArts]

yea I agree with b16a, be careful when getting tingling arms, it means your blood vessels are contracting (as they do when using coke) but now your circulation is not so good meaning its getting harder to pump blood to your extremeties.
My advice, cut down (or stop if you can) your intake and start doing some excersize, (lose a few pounds if youre on the heavy side) eat a healthier diet too !

[marquezz]

hey everybody. SWIM is wondering if this has ever happened to you. SWIM does snow regularly, about a gram a day for about 4 days of the week. on days when SWIM takes a break, his jaw and legs twitch constantly throughour the day after not having any coke. he tries to recover at times being sober for about 3 days. still the twitching occurs until SWIMs next coke activity. is this normal for regular coke users? it feels as SWIMS body is constantly in the need for powder on his days off and thinks that this is why SWIMs body acts this way. any suggestions or reasons why SWIMS body feels this way?

[dutch-marshal]

this is a side effect of uppers isn't it?

[kip]

SWIY can try taking muscle relaxants such as Robaxacet.

[trptamene]

One should read this thread...

Comedown - Very Restless after 3 days of Coke

In particular ~lostgurl~ has some good insights into the problems here.

[epote]

no dont take muscle relaxants, dont take sedatives of any kind dont take any form of psychoactive substance. Thats fatigue of the central nervous systems, your neurotransmiters are depleted.

eat well, do light excercise, get lots of vitamins, minerals and essential faty acids and wait it out

[yellowsnow]

SWIM notices near the end of a heavy night, the hands will start to twitch...kinda weird, never thought much about it though...

[epote]

we've said it already, its very common in athletes and after shock etc, its your CNS that is overworked and tired, neurotransmitters depleted etc which make all these extrapyramidal symptoms (google it)

[jijette]

Hey evryone!
Swim's doin' coke since more or less 6 months and in today he takes a few lines (3-4 not so big...so it isn't cause he takes too much) during the day and 30 minutes after his last line his "Biceps" was like bumpin alone, contracting without doing anything special... It's kinda do u have an idea what can it could be?? cause it's the first time it happens! Can something help to stop it?

thx for your answers!!

[dcrn]

swiy could be just over training... stop with them dumbells :P lol.. no muscle contraction is sometimes a natural thing. It's normal.

[AceOvArts]

sounds like twitching muscles to me, pretty natural but bloody annoying
