Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. There are many effects of using meth and the feeling of itching in your elbows, knees, with redness and numbness ma e related to heavy met amphetamine usage. If you do not have insurance and that is the reason you have been wanting to get a fix to your problem without a doctor, I strongly advise you to take precautions and not use the drug up until you can gather local resources including your social services personnel in the area to help you deal with the crisis situation. I wish you the very best in recovery.

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