A question about needles and...
Does stomach cramping in the morning, and possibly needle use necessarily mean heroin use, or are there other opiates that have the same indicators? Thanks.
p.s. I need to change my name here because laughing DOES NOT go along with anything much I have to say here.

I'm afraid thats out of my experience LTL.
Not sure what you mean by possibly needly use...Unless someones a diabetic I couldn't think of many more legit reasons that require regular self injection?

My brother has a heroin addiction, and yes stomach cramps are a withdrawal symptom. But not just heroin, all kinds of opiates can cause this if taken in big enough quantities. The opiates slow down digestion, so once you begin to withdrawal your intensities are roaring and diarrhea is very common. My addiction was opiate pills, not near as strong as heroin (I'm told) and I would even have stomach issues during withdrawal, but never diarrhea. It does not mean that it is being done intravenously though. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Like I say, I have no personal experience to share with heroin.

To DoggoneCarl, Re-reading my answer, and I worded it very badly. I didn't mean I don't believe when I get one answer here. I meant I don't always believe what I hear from my son about these things, and I didn't want to say "my son". Forgive me, please, if you thought I meant you!

Have you checked out Nar anon, coda or other face to face support groups for friends and families?
