J'ai été drogué il y a 7 mois et j'ai peur que cela soit devenu une tumeur cérébrale

Cancer

(23 year old Male)

I made some bad decisions people, and I desperately need your help.

I was at a concert for Halloween where I was drugged by a designer drug posed as LSD. I knew I was in for trouble when the tab stung my tounge and later on I had a killer headache, as if my brain was literally getting trampled. 

I thought I should just let it pass, but that is turning out to be a terrible mistake. Ever since that night, I felt a weirdness to my brain and the top of my scalp. I would constantly massage it hoping it would go away, but it has gotten worse since then. It feels like there are chemicals stuck in my brain just sitting there... which has resorted into some sort of  brain disease/tumour. I've never hoped to be wrong as much as I do now, but my body is telling me this is destined to become a serious problem. 

Recently I discovered a red lump near the right front of my scalp, but it has gone away since. But I am certain it will come back depending on my condition. 

I researched brain tumors and the symptoms match in many ways.

My head doesn't feel clear most of the day anymore. 

I can feel my brain swelling and aching when it is influenced by marijuana, but otherwise when I am sober, it's not so bad. 

I've been massaging it a lot these past few weeks, but have come to the realization that constant pressure might just be making it worse. So I'm trying to keep my hands away from my scalp as much as possible. 

 

I do not have proper health insurance, and now I am terrified this is going to result in irreversible conditions and in the worst case, cancer related death. 

I've been healthy most of my life with no preexisting conditions and few hospital visits.

I have set an appointment to get it checked, but am in sincere need of your advice and suggestions. How could I treat myself before urgent care? What should I do in this situation? 

Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions.

Bonjour obiwon, vous avez vous-même suggéré le meilleur plan d'action : quand je suis sobre, ce n'est pas si mal. Si vous vous inquiétez de nuire à votre cerveau, vous pourriez vouloir limiter votre consommation d'alcool également.

Vous pourriez essayer de rester sobre pendant, par exemple, 6 mois et voir comment vous vous sentez. Si vous vous sentez beaucoup mieux, vous pourriez découvrir qu'un mode de vie sobre est fait pour vous.

Bonne chance pour votre rendez-vous.

Don't take drugs! You don't have adequate health insurance yet you have been happy to abuse your body with the use of marijuana and other narcotics knowing that they can have catastrophic consequences. Now you're paying the price. It's highly unlikely that you have sucumbed to cancer but that won't make you feel any better because one of the side effects of marijuana is paranoia, so you've probably convinced yourself by now that you're going to die. Even though that is highly unlikely you will still believe it. Get help and get off the drugs.

Salut,

Je sais que vous êtes venu sur ce site pour obtenir des conseils et du soutien, mais votre situation est de votre propre fait et ne peut être corrigée que par vous en reconnaissant vos erreurs et en les arrêtant. Je lis quotidiennement des posts de personnes à qui on prescrit des médicaments légaux et qui ont l'impression que leur cerveau est pris en otage après avoir pris un seul comprimé. Arrêtez de prendre des drogues, arrêtez de fumer du cannabis et donnez à votre cerveau imbibé d'alcool des vacances, sinon il prendra des vacances de lui-même. Mon frère, un utilisateur constant pendant la majeure partie de ses 50 années de vie adulte, a dû subir l'ablation d'environ 50 % d'une partie de son cerveau en raison de crises cérébrales.

Réveillez-vous au cri d'aide de votre cerveau.

Mike.

Hi Mike. So glad I found someone giving similar advice to my own. I wondered if I was being a bit harsh, but you're absolutely right in everything you say. I was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago through no fault of my own and now am waiting for gamma knife surgery for a brain tumour (unrelated to the cancer) so I feel very angry when people with self inflicted conditions ask for help and sympathy.

Hi Obiwon. I am so glad you've made a Doctor appointment. In the meantime, do not use Marijuana. It may have some side effects. Also, tell the Doctor about the drug that was given to you, and tell him about your Marijuana use. I think the drug did probably cause some side effects for you, and hopefully the Doctor can discover what drug it was. Sometimes a blood test will help to diagnose things. 

Meantime, try not to worry so much. Make sure you see the Doctor. I will say a prayer for your recovery.
