What Are The Side Effects Of Crystal Meth?

I am in a relationship with a crystal meth addict. He shoots up when using. I have noticed lumps where it looks as though he has missed. Based upon the research I have done. I am not a drug user and I am considered about the dangers to my health because of his use. And the way he uses. We are not currently sexually active for I am afraid. Can you please tell me the dangers if there are to my physical health being with him.

Dear friend, If your boyfriend shares needles he is in danger of getting HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis B & C. Meth users are also more sexually active as a result of drug effects (even though their sexual desire lessens) and are prone to other sexually transmitted or needle transmitted infections and diseases.

His health is deteriorating and he will only be a burden on your life. If he is a meth addict then he is not a wonderful catch for you. He will bring you increased stress and that itself will lower your immune system and you may become ill as a result.

Ask yourself if you really need him in your life? He is on his way down, and he will take you with him because an addict will not uplift anyone, only drag them down.

I wish you courage and wisdom, and good health.
