  1. Ok, so I have snorted drugs maybe 4 times in my life, which
    is not a lot compared to the real drug addicts. Three of the
    times it was crushed ritalin pills and the other time some
    mda/speed powder, this happened in late 2002/early 2003. The
    day after taking that mda/speed powder a weird event
    happened, I started feeling weak, I quit watching Fight Club
    with my friends and wandered around the house because the
    film was making me scared (i was freakin high) then I felt
    like I could collapse to the ground anytime and my heart was
    beating very fast, my judgment wasn't altered btw, I am an
    experienced drug user and this kind of thing never happened
    before, my heart really felt like it was gonna rip out my
    chest, I told my friends in a panicky state to leave because
    I wasn't feeling well. I used 100mg of Trazodone then the
    drugs finally faded, i fell asleep. The next day I felt like
    I had broken something inside myself.

    A few days after snorting the last time I was waking up with
    blood dripping from my nose for a week long until some
    afternoon where I got a huge headache after getting in a
    dispute with my mother, I was very angry and I could feel
    the blood rushing through my head because I was so tense.
    The headache got worse and worse, I got to the hospital but
    I went back home after 6 hours of waiting, I just couldn't
    take the waiting anymore and my headache was killing me, I
    wanted to sleep.

    Then some morning soon after I got a severe left earache, I
    got to the hospital, a nurse inspected my ears and said
    there was some blood near my left eardrum but nothing more
    so I went home again because the waiting was too much once
    again. The doctor prescribed me Clavulin, he suspected an
    inner ear infection. I used the antibiotic to no avail. I
    then resumed my life as if nothing happened but then I
    noticed some kind of depression settling in, my grades at
    school dropped a little and I was oversleeping.

    Later in April/May 2003 I started to experience disturbing
    symptoms, pins and needles in the face, back of the head,
    jolts inside my neck/head, weird floating (that disappears
    as soon as I try to focus on it) dot in my vision eye
    doctors can't explain... I was a fan of marijuana before but
    at this point it was making me nervous so I reduced the
    dosage and smoke it infrequently from then on. I used to
    sing a lot to the music I listen to and without bragging I
    was doing well but now I can't keep on tune for a long time,
    it seems like my left vocal chord won't follow and then I
    start coughing. ( I never ever smoked cigarettes and now
    rarely smoke marijuana). My eyes have started looking weird,
    seems like my left pupil is smaller, but my doctor says it
    isn't (?). Sometimes the facial symptoms do not limit
    themselves to pins and needles, I feel pain around my left
    temple, left ear and left area around my left eye and
    sometimes some tremors on the area round my cheekbone. If I
    move my eyes around in circle I will twitch in the face.
    Sometimes pressure seem to build inside my head (!). I have
    noticed that when I work at school I always have my left
    hand touching my head when i'm writing, it seems to
    alleviate symptoms.

    In november 2003 my family doctor ordered me to take an EEG,
    which came up normal without surprise, I know EEG's are
    mostly useless. I since switched of family doctor.

    From this point things haven't really changed, i'm still in
    college, I do well in my maths and physics classes but I
    can't keep up with classes where I need to talk with other
    people and interact, my behavior has changed. I used to be a
    social person; I am now a loner. It seems I get nervous with
    anyone who I am not close with. I have taken a CT of the
    sinus, ears and orbits today on the order of my ENT, this
    following surgery to my deviated septum.

    Through thorough research on the internet since a year I
    have a hunch that I may have suffered
    cavernous/venous/saggital sinus thrombosis following
    infection inside my nose. All of the internet site seems to
    indicate that you should get treatment in the following days
    but in my case I couldn't : getting treatment was hard and
    doctors didn't take me seriously except the ENT. Will my ENT
    find anything on that CT scan ? Am I still treatable ? I
    cannot think I will have to live like this the rest of my
    life, seems like the life was sucked out of me. Is my self
    diagnosis rather good ? I know I am no doctor but after
    searching for a year about the thing that happened to me I
    have pinpointed it to a sinus stroke of some sort. It seems
    like my cranial nerves III, IV,V and VI are damaged.

    P.S I know i didn't have a brain attack (normal stroke),
    none of my side is paralyzed, my speech isn't
    slurred and my cognitive capacities are relatively
    in good shape.

    I could never snort drugz cause they f'ed with my sinuses SO

    RE: Reach the Sky........

    I would make an appt. with a GOOD neurologist. I don't wanna
    scare you but I don't like the pins & needles feeling you're
    getting in your head-(or the general all over weakness)-...
    From the symptoms you described it sounds like some kinda
    circulation problem and more than likely has nothing to do
    with anything you may have snorted in the past. Make the
    appt., better safe than sorry. Good
    luck....Respect....OUTLAW

    Thanks a lot, i still need to see my family doctor to get an
    appointment for a neurologist, which sucks, it takes such a
    long time to even see him. What do you mean circulatory
    problem ? Anything related to heart attacks ???

  7. That is very interesting. I acquired an infection that has
    affected all parts of my face, due to snorting certain
    things in an unsanitary, germ-sharing environment (I even
    snorted a glass shard along with my .
    . . recreational technology, believe it or not). I treated
    the infection with antibiotics, and thought it had gone
    away. Alas, a week and a half ago, both eyes became re-
    infected. The strange thing was that, this time, the
    reoccurence of the infection was accompanied by a
    depressive crash. I thought it was just a coincidence, but
    your e-mail has me wondering. I certainly don't have CST
    (cavernous sinus thrombosis), as I have been headache
    free, but I should certainly treat my infection more
    seriously.
