Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm an intravenous meth user and have been for a couple years now. Believe it or not I live a fairly normal life i.e. I sleep every night, and eat at regular meal times but about 5 months ago I noticed that ,my eyes started hurting and seemed to have trouble focusing and my balls would ache (like blue balls) after I shit and my legs feel as though they aren't my own. I know that sounds crazy but its as if they are robotic stiff achy and clumsy. Its been hard to stand due to lightheadedness but if I start walking then it's not a problem. The worst addition by far has been this sensation that I have accidently dribbled a little pee in my pants and this bad smell that follows me around but that no one (including my girl) can smell. I know alot of this is anxiety based and a direct result of my drug use but they seem to be problems unique to me and im wondering if I have a heart condition (which may explain the frequent heartburn) or some other ailment. I also have horrific dreams when I sleep and often wake whimpering. So strange......um, anyways, insight?
