Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. The symptoms that you describe - that of red finger tips, knuckles, discoloration with dryness of the skin, lightheadedness, blurry vision after a high on meth are not uncommon and are due to the increased vascularity in certain regions while denying some areas with blood supply. I would like to let you know that snorting also causes a faster high and the risk of becoming dependent on meth is higher with this form of usage. I also believe that you might have medical problems as a result of meth binging as well as regular use of methamphetamine to prevent withdrawal symptoms. I also believe that you might benefit from rehabilitation treatment and the first point of contact for you would be either a substance abuse counselor available through community or social services department in you region and / or a psychiatrist who is trained in the treatment of substance use disorders. I hope you consult one as soon as possible and get yourself on the path of recovery.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
