Can Meth Cause Numbness In Toe And Fingers?

I have used meth almost every day for about a month. Recently my toes r numb & my fingers hurt. I can see little crystal like dots all over them. (shiny like glitter) Last night we got a new batch . The pain has intensified so much I wasn t sure what to do. I read about meth use alot & numbness, but no one had mentioned anything about these little silvery specs on fingers & toes. I read about something called anhydrous...I can immediately tell when I use the new kind that it makes me itchy & makes my feet & hands hurt & sparkle. Also when I got out of the bath that my toes were leaving pink marks on the bath mat. I kno pink is a color associated with anhydrous. Do u think this is me being allergic to that chemical or a chemical in particular or just too much use? (smoke)

Hi,

The metabolites of meth are excreted through skin as well and that can explain some of your symptoms. Please also keep in mind that meth causes vasoconstriction, which can reduce the blood supply of organs. This can cause intense pain, especially in peripheral organs like fingers and toes. Please avoid using meth or the problems will worsen.

Best wishes.
