Info on Drug Overdose Leading to Circulatory Collapse…?

Published May 20, 2010

I had a drug overdose in 2005 (crystal meth & cocaine) that landed me in intensive care for almost a week, I was completely out of it the entire time and was discharged without an explanation as to what exactly happened inside my body, I of course never thought to ask but now that it has been years that I’ve been sober it has started to bug me.

I’ve done research and it seems that what I had was a circulatory collapse. My initial symptoms we’re hand numbness and by the time I go the to ER my legs, feet, arms and hands we’re completely blue. I remember the nurse telling me “my body was shutting down but my heart was still beating” which is similar to a description I read on circulatory collapse, seems to fit as it is also a common risk listed with drug overdoses.

Now, what my question is, is WHERE can I find more info on this, does anyone know more about this and what it can do to your body afterwards, long term effects…the internet has minimal info on this!!
