Several Problems with Body in general. Very worried.
Hello, I am a very scared. About 1 month and half ago my friend had a cigarette that was ruled up with supposely marijuana. I for some stupid reason joined in. He got it for free from some guy who did not know what was in it. I smoked it and then got home, as soon as I got home I started having problems with my body. I got severe heartburn and my heart started to beat very fast. That night I got a headache that would not go away. It was on my left and right temple. After a week I went to the doctor who ordered a CT Scan. There is no tumor which I was very worried about. I still have the headaches, just they aren't as bad and I have a TMJ appointment this week. That's what he thinks are causing the headaches. Anyway, About another week later I was having trouble breathing. It felt like I had pneumonia but the doctor said I didn't. Since I smoked that ciggarette I have felt like I am "high" everyday, and it's horrible. I am forgetting stuff a lot more now, and it's bringing me down. I also did not mention that I get stomach and liver pains throughout the day. The weird thing is my friend did not get sick like this. I am thinking it could be an allergic reaction. If anybody could help me that would be great, I am very scared I got poisoned/cancer/etc. I am generally a paranoid person. Thank you.
I actually have a lot of guidance on this subject. See about a year and a half ago now I got a similar story. I had been smoking weed happily I dunno I'd say 10-12 times and one night I was smoking with my friends and all the sudden I just started feeling tingling and it moved throughout my entire body, and I started hullucinating etc... To make that story short I was sent to the hospital and I was really high, they tested me and confirmed the only thing in my system was marijuana. The other people smoking with me were totally fine.
Since that time I've always felt high pretty much. And I started expiriencing all different kinds of krap. Like I felt I couldn't breath, my chest hurt, sometimes i had headaches, and a **** load of other things.
So your story doesn't sound weird to me at all. They finally diagnosed me with "Anxiety" because I would have panic attacks and basically there is nothing wrong with me. I have issues focusing a lot, I never remember having that before.
For me it's been a year and a half now and I feel quite a bit better now. I stayed in my room for like 5 months blacked out the windows and never wanted to come out. They put me on all kinds of anxiety medicine which made me dizzier then I usually was etc... the only thing that I've found that helps whatsoever is Ativan and Xanax which are like a calming medicine some kind of valium.
So my best advice to you is that you are probably expiriencing anxiety and worrying won't help you. The best thing to do is take some deep breathes and just tell yourself that your chest doesn't hurt or whatever it is your expiriencing and just wait it out. I don't know if I don't feel high anymore and anxiety has gone away or if I've just gotten used to it but I feel like a pretty happy person again.
I don't think I'm completely back to normal, I don't think I'll ever be completely back to normal but the way I look at it is that I made the choice to do the marijuana and I need to deal with the consequences the best that I can.
Although to be honest I don't think it was actually the marijuana I think it just "triggered" my anxiety. Seems more logical.
If anyone would like to talk to me I'm alright with that you can AIM me at: smurfbulljtang

You're welcome!
I just remembered another book, that actually SAVED me when I had a repetitive strain injury. The same methods described can also resolve many kinds of headaches. Much of the information is online, so you might not even have to buy the book. And if you happen to live in Los Angeles, this book is available from the library.
Anyhow here is the link, then I suggest you read through all of the sections carefully (especially make sure to click on the parts relating to headaches):

As far as fasting goes, it's really amazing but let me just say again that I don't recommend doing more than just one day a week, at least for 6 months. And it's important to start eating healthy for at least a few days BEFORE you fast because otherwise you might detox too quickly and that can be hard on your body. You need to drink a lot of water during this time! I really hope you can get a hold of Paul Bragg's book to guide you through it because it is very inspiring and positive.
By the way did you get especially stressed out emotionally right around the time you were smoking this substance? Sometimes that can cause a chain of physical reactions.

mfd,
I don't know enough to theorize about your situation - but recently I have become interested in health and body cleansing in general. I like things that are not too complicated and I think that juicing can be a very healthy practice for detoxing, and giving the body a chance to cleanse itself.
Also see if you can check out from your local library a book called "The Miracle of Fasting" by Paul Bragg (he was born in 1881 and died in a surfing accident when he was in his nineties). He advocates a weekly, one day fast. Drinking only distilled water (I actually use Spring water) with a trace of lemon and honey.
Supposedly when you do this your body can focus on getting rid of all the toxins that are stuck in there. It turns out that fasting is the instinctive response of all animals when they are sick or injured. Again, it gives the body a chance to 'clean itself up.' There's a lot about this on the internet too, but with fasting there are also a lot of fanatics and you don't want to go too far with it.
For the one day fast, it's good to eat healthy for a few days before because if you suddenly withdraw from coffee or sugar or junk food then it can cause really bad headaches in its own right.

Thanks Zonnie. This headaches are very horrible right now and just tearing me apart. Very painful. I am looking in to this one day fasting situation. Latley I have been watching my weight and starting to work out a bit (When my head isen't splitting open). Thank you, I look forward to this fasting.
