as most of you are aware ive had a liver transplant at the beginning of this year which i think was down to pills, now this wasnt confirmed or anything it was just a strong feeling of mine seeing as i did get very ill just after i'd taken two pills
anyway, yesterday i received an email from someone who was doing a google search on liver transplants and MDMA and found one of my posts i had made on the drugs forum and emailed me via these boards. It turns out that this person who emailed me (a 24 year old female) has also had to have a liver transplant and she thinks it was due to pills as well, and we were talking for like 4 hours.
now there isnt any real point in this post, i just made me more aware that these drugs can cause serious damage and it was nice to talk to someone else about it whos had exactly the same experience as i had.. as up until now i was the only person i knew that had their lives nearly destroyed by mdma... and its nice to know that i'm not the only one... (well its not nice to know that but its nice that theres someone out there i can talk to)
now i know theres no proof that what we experienced was down to pills, but in all honesty it certainly looks that way, after us becoming ill just after we've taken pills.
as i said theres no point to this thread, its just nice that because of these boards ive been put in contact with someone whos had a very similar experience to me because of pills (we think).
So i'd think twice the next time you go to take a pill ;p
Sorry if ive babbled a bit ;p

Glad to here you're ok.
10 to 1 = not cained
4 to 5 = cained
place your bets now please!
what?
What I would say is more likely is that there was some sort of adverse reaction which caused the damage, not that you are allergic to it but something else.
Thanks for posting though Jake, its very interesting and I hope everything is OK with you now.
Much like the blood clot which was just floating about the body of the woman I saw nearly die after taking MDMA. Just one of those nasty things that happen.
anyway its been really nice talking to her, its great to be able to talk to someone whos had the same experience.
This is something i've been mentioning for months, when i was doing pills regularly i developed sharp pains, as did other people i know. Wondered if it was liver or kidney related, this guy seems to vindicate that theory.
Sharp pains where? Its always difficult with these things to get a causational link, his liver might have packed up anyway and your pains might not have been your liver.
Does anyone know where MDMA is broken down?
Bong, I am looking around to find out - there was a lot of information on the metabolisation of MDMA on Erowid somewhere - maybe in journal articles about the interactions with drugs used to treat HIV? I'm still looking...
Lower back & abdomen. Was most noticable when I was starting off regular use.
I dont know then, its entirely possible but its not a common side effect.
You're forgetting the cianti.
And MDMA by itself does not appear to be a neuro toxin, which makes scientists believe that it breaks down into one.
As you rightly point out it has got a slant, but not drastically so.
now thats the scary bit, my liver failure was related to hepatic failure
