Does anyone know....

[Guest saffysue]

someone with M.E?

eg longterm effects or how it might be different for someone with ME to take E/coke etc...?

If so any help would be appreciated!

 

Thank you!

I know...but isn't that the best advice for all of us?!

 

I always try to monitor how much she's doin and try to stop her but...

If you see me having a barney with my best mate at sunnys on sunday, you know why!!

[Louise]

ask your doctor or a drugs advisor, thats what there there for

 

you would be suprised how easy going they can be when you want advice

[Lisa]

well if she insist on doing it then, you need to make sure she limits herself, prehaps, because IMO its not good for any of us, but someone who has ME well, hmmmm

its not the wisest thing to do

Hadn't thought of a drugs advisor person (dozy blonde!) lou, thanks

and please don't get angry at me!!

 

has anyone got any numbers for those drug advice lines?

[Guest Kether]

AFAIK, ME weakens your immune system and you're constantly shattered.

 

Whilst on the drugs I guess you'd love it cos you're energetic and it'd be such a massive difference from your normal state.

 

When they wear off I guess you're leaving yourself open to getting ill easily.

 

As little or nothing is known about what causes it and the only treatments for ME are directed at the symptoms of the disease it's a bit difficult to say what effects drug use would have in the long-term.

 

I've had a look for research online into the effects but without much luck although some amphetamine like drugs (like ritanil, used for ppl with ADHD) are used in the treatment. I wouldn't take that as a cue to go and get battered as people that take ritanil get notoriously fucked up. Take Kurt Cobain for example.
