Stomach
cramps on meth
My
husband who I'm 99% sure is on meth was having major stomach issues
last night. I woke up at 1:30a.m. and of course he was still up,
wide awake watching tv in the living room. He finally came to bed
and I woke back up and he was rolling around saying his stomach was
hurting and he was having cold sweats. So he's in the bathroom for I
don't know how long and I fall back to sleep. I wake up again and
it's 4:00a.m. I go in the bathroom and he's in the bathtub. I was
like "What in the hell are you doing?" So finally, once again he
came back to bed and went to sleep. I have noticed a lot lately that
he's been having stomach issues. Is this a normal part of meth use
or not? |

Sure
stomach cramps is one of the negative side effects of meth use.

it. Sure that can reek havoc on ones stomach... |

I only
had stomach cramps after I ate. Mostly cause I would go for 8-10
days with out eating, then if I did eat it would hurt my stomach
really bad. Only other stomach probloms were when I quit using meth... |

Ischemic bowel affects meth users. It's
a disorder which results from the inadequate flow of oxygenated
blood to the intestines. Symptoms include crampy abdominal pain
after eating. It basically means that a portion of the intestine is
dead...rotting. |

Intestinal ischemia and infarction is the death of part of the
intestine after its blood supply is cut off. I have never
heard of meth use cutting off the blood supply to the intentine.
Interesting. |

stimulants of any kind can cause ischemic colitis...and according to
a 1999 federal report, "even prolonged use of amphetamine-containing
diet pills has resulted in ischemic colitis and pulmonary edema."

that
meth use constricts the blood vessels and cuts of blood oxygen to
EVERY tissue of the body. |

Re: Stomach

When I
was deeeep in my addiction, I began to have serious side cramps.
After a month and two emergency visits later, my doctor made me get
a ct scan of my abdomen. turns out my spleen was 5 times it's normal
size. I was instructed to see a hemotologist. I told him of my meth
addiction, how I took it, and how much. He didn't see any corolation
with my meth use and my spleen.
I had bone marow removed, lymph nodes taken out, and about ten
thousand blood tests.
EVERYTHING came back negative. No infection, no cancer! Yippeeee. At
the time I was just annoyed how all these tests were interfering
with me getting high.
I feel that the meth caused my spleen to swell. When I quit, my
spleen went down, now my liver is swollen.
Anyone ever here of a swollen spleen caused by meth use?
