Question about D5
Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2024 6:06 am
I have been infusing for almost a year now. I have only used dextrose 5% because I was worried about saline sting and I like the swelling. I usually do 500-1000ml just depending on how I feel and how it progresses. The first time I pushed to 1000ml I did get blisters and sweating but not any more.
I have noticed that for the first 3 days or so my skin is firm and feels like it is 1/2 in thick. Even when my sack is 75% deflated and loose/saggy. Like if I tried punching my sack between two fingers there would be a 1/2-1 inch gap between my fingers. Normally when not infuse it's like 1/8 in when pinched. Obviously after 4-5 days is goes back to normal.
So my question, is the skin hardening/thickening a result of the inflammation cause by the dextrose or does this happen with saline as well?
