Youre email didnt show up on youre post. Wonder what we could do so that I can see it??
would be good to chat with you. i as well have been clean for some time however i tell ya, i was with a man for 7 years who was a recording artist, exellent guitar player and singer, creative, artistic, caring compassionate, wealthy etc...he was the ****, lol, and went away to a bachelor party one weekend and came home and was never the same...he confessed he had done some drugs over the weekend and he was not normally a drug user. He drank occasionally however the bacheolor party weekend was a bit in excess well...he now lives on skid row because of the weekend and the health problems he has been diagnosed with...lots to chat about lets PM one another..or email me at ***@****
Hope your weekend was as well as one can wish for!
I havent used drugs in ten years.. Yes they were brought on when I was under the influence. I wouldnt mind chatting with you if you dont mind??
I have thought that maybe I have some kind of mcs but I never had any problems until the drug use started. It seems like its only strong chemicals that I cant be around for long enough or I will go into one of thise attacks and man are they scary.. I have been seeing a neurologist and think he would have brought up mcs to me dont you think? I have thought about seeing a different one. I do think I have some kind of migraines going on also, but I dont see how a neurologist can miss that. See I have alot of head symptoms going on and every once in awhile when i actually have a good day I can handle chemicals more than usual. It all depends on how my head is doing. See I can feel in my head and body that I cant handle drugs and chemicals if that makes sense. Its really hard to explain. Another thing that if it is mcs why 10 yeras ago when this first happen did alcohol make me feal better? I mean it was like a miracle to me but somehow as I was getiing better through out the years the alcohol felt like it flaired this back up wich I find really strange..
Now these attacks you say that last for 10 days how does she describe them? What happens to her? I would really like to know so I can compare them to mine to see if they are similar..
Just curious if your first attack was brought on when under the influence? I am a recovering drug addict and was on meth for 4 years...opiates for 2 years and cocain, pot and everything else for 17 years so I know the horrible lasting effects of that kind of lifestyle,. I am wondering if you have ever thought of possible mental illnesses...hass anyone in your immediate family ever been diagnosed with a mental illness? when I was actively using I was riddled with horrible symptoms of physcosis, borderline personality disorder etc, etc and it caused many of the signs and symtoms you have described. Fotunately, mental illness is not frowned upon as it was many years ago. The amazing thing is...now that I have 3 years and 4 months clean and sober from all mind altering drugs...I take one antidepressant a day. When I got clean I was diagnosed accordingly and any of the mental illneses I had previously been diagnosed with well...those symptoms seemed to dissappear. It is amazing what an effect drugs and alcohol have on our entire systems. The ingredients in meth make me sick to even think about now...our brains do not function when we snort or inject drano and camp fuel. I hope you seriously contemplate getting clean and please...talk to your doctor about seeing a neurologist, an immunologist and ask to have a CT scan done. Know that there are many people out there who have gone thru what your experiencing and if you need to chat PM me!
Definitely look into MCS. That's what I deal with myself. The sensitivities and allergies can definitely cause all kinds of issues much like what you've described. A friend of mine also had MCS. We had similar symptoms, but she was more sensitive to some things than I was and vice versa. We both had issues with perfumes and fragrances and suffered very similarly. Migraines are definitely a part of this for me and migraines do actually cause many of the symptoms you're describing, so you might also want to talk to a neurologist. Migraines are strange "creatures" as they can cause all these symptoms even without the actual headache. This is referred to as "silent migraines" in layman's terms. Your symptoms do sound very similar to mine, even though I never touched marijuana. However, what typically happens with MCS is just that one trigger that someone can remember and having everything change, much like what you've described.
I do think seeing a neurologist about silent migraines, though, may help alleviate some of the symptoms. I don't think it will happen right away, and I know it won't alleviate all of the symptoms, but I'm certain it will still help.
With MCS it may or may not help to see an allergist. It was kind of "iffy" with me, as most of my food sensitivities tend to be related to tyramine intolerance, which is related to the chronic migraine disorder. They didn't test some of the environmental things, but it was determined that I am definitely allergic to the modern world, so the allergist confirmed that I do have MCS. Some of the other doctors like to question this, which is what my friend's doctors did to her, too. So, don't get discouraged if you don't get definite answers right away. I do think seeing a neurologist might help, though.
You may want to look into multiple chemical sensitivity, or MCS.
My aunt had it so bad she couldn't touch anything plastic, including the computer, the phone.. Nothing! She bought a pair of all cotton gloves and wore them all the time... After that things started getting a little better. She is allergic to petroleum, which is in everything.. So if you look it up and think it be something you have be sure to watch what type of clothes you are wearing!
Her attacks usually last 10 days, even after removing the offending item.
Best of luck.. I hope you feel better soon!
