Accepted Answer

Stop taking meth: Continue to use meth, and you will very likely die of it -- but first, you'll bring misery to yourself and to everyone who loves you. I suspect you already realize this, and that your courage in writing reflects a changed attitude and a commitment to recover after this terrible mistake. A support group and/or professional help may save your life.

Accepted Answer

Infection: What you described suggests an infection at the site of infection. It would be prudent to see a doctor or go to the emergency department of a hospital nearby. I trust you know that by doing meth you are engaging in self destructive behavior and need to change your approach to life. It would help to see a mental health professional.
Wish you good health!
