What makes some meth users have sores
and some not?
Every one talks about sores on the face. My daughter is
a meth user and has no sores. What makes some have and
some not?

Re: What

There seems to be no answer to that.
I have seen the effects of meth use strike at the weaker
spots in an addict I know. He, unfortunately, has been
able to hide his heavy meth addiction from many people
for many years. It is said that an addict is often
either too rich, too good looking or too smart to choose
recovery. He isn't too rich or too smart so I tend to
hope for the looks to go soon.
The scary thing to me is, I know of people who never got
colds or little viruses throughout life but tended to
get the severe and rare diseases that they least likely
expected.

Re: What

same reason some people are allergic
to bee stings..
...and others just get stung.
I never picked at myself..
.....in the early 80's, I was ok.....I just kept cutting
my hair like rod stewart...a dead give away I was using
then cam the fever blisters...
I did'nt start with the welps till the 90's..
............the combined "sonic" haircut, and welps..
made me look strung out.
when i found the cure for those 2..welps, and fever
blisters......
.......then came the high blood pressure, tunnel vision.
and seeing aura's....obsessive compulsive, worse ADHD.
......generally my skin just looked "tired"
when I hit 30...I got bags under my eyes from staying
up..
...my legs were translucent...you could see veins and
arteries in em
.....my hands were the worst.
they looked 1000 yrs old.
......if she gave it time....something would have shown. |

Re: What

that is a good question, i used over
20yrs, never picked at my face or anywere else.then ive
seen folks tweak infront of a mirror so long ive rebuilt
bike motors before they moved from that mirror,even seen
a girl brush her hair for 6hrs striaght non stop,nothing
could move them from what they was doing.i think it all
has to do with what they get stuck doing.

Re: What

ahhhhh..I remember this
too well...I use to pick at my face from dusk till dawn
sometimes. And I remember when I still had a job-it
would be say 4:00 5:00 am and I would say I had plenty
of time to get ready for work...and would still show up
late...But I remember when I use to smoke it I felt it
was coming out of my pores. I use to tell other people
who used with me to look at the stuff coming out from my
legs, my hands, my arms! But I think I was hallucinating
and picked at my skin till it would bleed. I still have
the scars from it today which remind me of the horrible
times I went through with the stuff...

Re: What

My belief on this is
similar to luv's...
I think that if a person has tendencies toward picking,
meth exacerbates the behavior.
I have only used meth twice... and that second time, I
picked at myself for several hours. My arms & legs
looked horrible by the time I was finished... and I do
mean HORRIBLE!
Skin imperfections (my own) have always bothered me.
It's hard for me to leave those bumps, blemishes, etc.
completely alone without meth... but with it, I straight
went off!
For the 2 years that my husband was using heavily, he
only picked at his face one time. He made it look really
bad, though... people were asking what the deal was,
including his boss. I think he stopped after that 1 time
out of fear that people would realize what he was doing,
but that's just my opinion. |
