A question about speed

[RobinHood]

Hi,



This may seem like a stupid question but a few years ago I went through a period of doing a lot of speed and remember that on a couple of occasions my skin turned a yellow jaundiced colour? Anyone know why? Or how? Or was I just going mad?



Cheers,

eh maybe lack of vitamins or minerals ive never heard of that but if u didnt eat for a while i guess it could happen

[jmoney]

Ya that sounds pretty logical. Try to take multi-vitimins and drink a lot of water when ur spun out. helps me most the time

[RobinHood]

Thanks..



I just wondered really... makes sense!

[jmoney]

Its always fun to go to the steam room when your spun out because you sweat a lot of crystals and stuff. It's pretty interesting also another way to help you come down.

Goin to a steam room has ta be the dumbest fuckin idea ever... No offense but shit... The reason u OD on dope is hyperthermia, where your temp rises so high ur brain fries... Drink a shitload of water, and remember ta eat. And when ur skin turns yellow, its cuz of no circulation, malnutrition and dehydration... And please, for ur own sakes, don't go in a steam room, sauna, jaccuzi, or outside when its 115 degrees.

Oh... I take back my last post. lol.

Do not go to a steam room when you are doing stimulants. I repeat DO NOT. You will overheat and die! By the way, you do not sweat out crystals

I had a similar problem and severe itching, after the use of speed. It could be caused by the liver which needs to use it's extra capacity to filter toxics out of the body. I think speed demands a lot of energy to get rid of your body

The liver produces bilirubine, which can be a lot when intoxicated. It causes a yellow skin, yellow eyeballs and a terrible itch everywhere on the body. These signs are a warning to take it easy.

Hood and Pihkal -



You get jauniced colored, and the explanations make sense. What would be the reason for my friend, who gets like an absolute loss of all color? Her skin doesn't turn yellow, it turns like a pale white-blue deahtly color, and lasts as long as she's tweaking (i.e. until she sleeps). Yes, yes, the body needs food and sleep more than once every 6 days, but the color drains out almost instantly. Does anyone know why? And let me reiterate - not just pale, but pale with a blue tint, like someone who's died.

Ay that sounds scary. My explanation (based on some medical knowledge) would be the following.

I assume she's tweaking on meth and no rookie anymore ?



From the moment the honey enters the bloodstream, the whole central nervous system is 'awake' Call it: Code Red. It's using all it's capabilities, to protect the body against the evil intruder.



I think that the major part of the bloodflow from your friend is going to her vital organs (heart,lungs,brain..)

while she's tweaking. Therefore other periferal tissues, like the skin, hands, feet, but also other organs get less blood and thus less oxygen which could explain the blue tint on her skin. Does she have brewses or dark stains (blood) on her legs, feet?



How does she feel by the way ?

I think it's wise to contact an MD, because these are the signs of Tr<img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley11.gif"> ble.

Yeah dude my x was introduced to tweak and then smoking tweak made her teeth black/see thru so she decided snorting was her thing and swallowing it sometimes.... afer a few monthes id say she was addicted she was turning blue like u said and i got worried and she tripped saying LEAVE ME ALONE all crazy and shit like the chik on spun says to "the cook" (when she leaves him) and then we got in a fight i realised she had bruises all over her arms and legs... Check for bruises dude cuz thats definitly what is between lotsa trouble and the blueing stage!!

[newguy1]

what up all---someone correct this if this is wrong but I understand that strange stuff starts happening to your body (teeth fall out, skin turns nasty colors, acne, and so on) because you REALLY dont feel like eatin when tweakin. No eat, no nutrients and your body kind of needs those. so its not necessarly the drugs but what the drugs cause you to do -like not eat-


anyone?

This is probably the true answer, your core temp rises and blood leaves all the extremities, ever noticed a shrunken penis when speeding?
