have to quit! tingling in arms legs etc

Hi guys two plants on the go 2 o'z in a jar and then this happens, this is quoted form another site but it exactly whats happened to me

"hello, i have always consumed cannabis and deriveds, but lately i have had to diminish the frequency of this marvellous habit because of the next problem of which no one seems to know anything and i have not been able to find any info to solve it.

It has happened repeatedly for the past years but randomly. after smoking pot i feel the normal effects, but after a while it gets to a point in wich i start loosing sensibility in my hands, like if they were put to sleep. i feel a strange tingling, like pins and needles in my hands, that gets more intense when touching things. depending on what i touch the feeling gets stronger or softer (touching my skin or hair the sensation is very intense but touching plastic or glass it almost disappears). it is nothing pleasent. when i'm high all my attention goes to this problem almost obsessively. but the worst part is that this disagreeable sensation does not disappear with the marihuana effects, but it lasts even for several days, vanishing little by little.

Nobody, no doctors, no naturists seem to know where this problem comes from or how to solve it. i would appreciate any info about this problem or people to contact to find a solution."


anybody else get this? smoked last night and 15 hours later still feel this

sucks,and before anybody sais it ive been smoking a while and no its not in my head....

any help appreciated

sounds like you have Carpral tunnell syndrome .. I get it too but its from drumming for 20 yrs and swinging a hammer just as long

lmao, yea it sounds like carpool tunnel syndrome.


You should probably read into what exactly happens to your body as you get high instead of jumping to conclusions. Pot does not cause those symptoms.

Pay attention to your posture when you smoke. Try to set up straight ect...

go to a radio shack/the source and pick up a Nexx Tech Gyroscope ball (or Powerball - the brand name product but more expensive)... it works wonders for circulation/getting heart rate up passively in less than 1 minute...and if you go intense you can even sweat.

It's $10 or less... and its one of the less known about navy seal workout items.

you should probably read the effects of carpal tunnel

"Symptoms include aching, tingling, "pins and needles", a swollen feeling, burning, numbness or pain in the hand and fingers. Only fingers served by the median nerve - the thumb, the index and middle fingers, and part of the ring finger - are affected (see diagram below). Sometimes, the symptoms can spread up your arm."


every finger my legs etc, this is not carpal tunnel imo

Hi,

I seem to be having an adverse reaction to marijuana and was wondering if anyone here has ever had a similar experience or heard of it happening to someone else.

I'm not a regular pot-smoker. A couple days ago, I smoked for the first time in about a year and half. I took three or four hits, then my arms and legs started to get a tingly, pins-and-needles kind of numb. I figured this would go away, but when I awoke in the morning, I was completely sober and my arms and legs were still numb and tingling. I had this same reaction after smoking marijuana the last three or four times I've smoked, which were over a year and a half ago. I never had the problem during the time I was not smoking or when I first began smoking pot when I was 16 (I'm 20 now). One time, in the past, the tingling sensation spread to nearly every part of my body and lasted over a week. The feelings became so intolerable that I went to the emergency room, but they basically told me to wait it out. It eventually went away. It's been almost three days since I last smoked pot and I still have tingling numbness ALL OVER. Even my forehead is tingly and numb.

I originally thought I had a B12 deficiency, but I have recently come to believe that this is not the case. I've tried searching the internet for information about this type of reaction to marijuana, but haven't found much of anything.

Help?


another post from another site, there is a girl who had the same and it went away after ten days, hope this shit doesant take that long lol

It might be aggrivating a problem you've had for years that isn't affecting you normally. Have you been checked out for diabetes, low blood sugar, whatever other crap doctors check in your blood and urine etc?

Not something I've ever heard of, nor probably anyone else here, but if that were happening to me I'd want to get checked out because that's not normal at all.

Maybe you're just allergic, who knows, or maybe you have a serious health problem coming you aren't aware of.

People can have allergies to anything though.

i hope i never get bad side effects from smoking the bud
good luck to you man

Me and a few of my stoner friends get this EXACT same thing. We call it "tingly hands". It can be annoying and can make simple tasks very difficult like writing or worse: peeling off stickers with your fingernails.
Fortunately for us, it goes away in a couple hours or with an intense session, maybe the following morning.

I'm 90% sure its from the body high, so try smoking less and possibly a more sativa plant/strain. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to say

I've had this feeling twice in my life and I know where you are coming from.I once got in a fight and hit my elbow on the sidewalk(dirty ass shit)...had a nice hole in my elbow,yea more like a hole than a cut...and it apparently got infected...the next night about 8-10 i started getting that exact feeling in my arms and face.I couldn't talk right and my hands were curled up so bad I had to use the other hand to pry my fingers open,it was real fucked up.Kinda scary to tell you the truth.... The other time was from hyper-ventalating...nurse told me to stop that and the feeling would go away....it did. But that virus was called cellulitis, it can kill you...i was on IV for a week and that still wasn't enough,ended up giving me pills i couldn't eat 6 hours before or after taking.

wow

i hope i never feel dat shit

ya'll trippin

lol

the worst that's happen to me .. while smokin

i payed for my food at wendys.. and almost left without my food, well i did leave.. but er'body was tellin a nucca "wait, where's our food"


annnnnnnnnnnnnnndddd...


i swear i seen ants movin on the floor, but that weed was with a mixture of shrooms


lol


tinglin in hands?
dat shit sounds liek you got a problem with YOU

not the weed

lol

Weed don't do that


weed is a Medicine, if anything... IT HELPS

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i get the same feeling my hands get kinda cold and i get pins and nettles when i touch stuff.

This is interesting. Marijuana has anticholinergic properties (dry mouth, tachycardia) but is not documented as having sympathomimetic properties (vasoconstriction, elevated blood pressure, e.g. "fight or flight response"). Take your blood pressure, heart rate (for 1 minute), and minute respiration count when you are not stoned. Repeat the measurements when you are stoned or have someone do it for you. You need a sphygmomanometer for the BP or you can use one of those machines at a pharmacy, Wal-Mart, etc any place frequented by geezers. It sounds like you are having a constrictive response in your capillary beds which is essentially a sympathomimetic response. Do you know the origin of your weed? Could there be an adulterant that has contaminated it (fertilizer, pesticide)? Hyperventilation or hypoventilation could also cause some of these responses but should resolve rather quickly.

U almost sound like me. I have alcoholic neuropathy. Ihurt like that thru my legs BAD! I using weed to help me sllep thru it. ALso it helps on the day. I take oxycontin for it regularily. I got it from B-1 defincincy. Alchol stops b1 form being absorbedm b1 is thiamine like in bread. Diabetics get neuropathy too. Its a bitch. SImilar symtpms. DO yu drink alot?

Commercial mids, so pesticide or fertilizer could be possible. I know it isnt laced with anything.


My issue isnt serious like drgreens. It only happens 20% of the time when I smoke and lasts for maybe 30 minutes. It isn't painful at all, its just annoying if you are doing something that involves using your hands.

Signs & symptoms of hyperventilation (often from anxiety):

Of the hyperventilation syndrome symptoms and signs listed in the Nijmegen questionnaire, there are several that are distinctly related to hyperventilation syndrome. These signs and symptoms are strong indicators of hyperventilation syndrome, especially if the victim has several of them:

• Tense feeling
• Dizziness
• Fast or deep breathing
• Tingling in fingers and hands
• Stiffness or cramps in fingers and hands
• Tightness around the mouth
• Cold hands or feet
• Palpitations in the chest
• Anxiety

I had the same issue a couple of years back but it was also accompanied by intense panic/anxiety attacks.

What I did was I changed up my smoking habbits. Cut back a little, stay away from junk weed, try to take smaller hits and space your hits out a little. If you find yourself smoking bud constantly one rip after another, that may be part of the issue.

Then again, what worked for me may not work for others. Just a little insight.

Good luck and I hope you continue smoking.

If it's carpal or related to carpal, take 200mg of b-6 for 10 days. overdosing on B-6 only causes you to pee more, and the B-6 heals carpal tunnel syndrome. I had it really bad for a few weeks when my company changed my desk, the height was off so it got really bad. Once on the B-6 it cured it right up.
