I’m a guitarist. I have been addicted for a year.
About two months ago I noticed swelling in my hands. Guitar is not fun anymore.
This drug has taken the one thing I love in life.
Do you think the swelling will go away if I manage to quit?
Am I fucked forever?
What are everyone’s physical ailments from this shit? I am almost certain I have venous insuffiency.
I get these weird red bumps that are slow healing.
I also have brain fog, high blood pressure, and I’m endlessly tired like everyone else.
I think there are serious health impacts that we are only going to start realizing.
I hope I haven’t done unrepairable damage.
I’m tapering down. I think I can beat this.
But the health is so scary
Edit: I also have inflammation everywhere. Specifically swollen hands and feet
