Let me clear up some confusion.
I didn't do anywhere near what the guy in the story did, I just have the same symptoms, just not as wide-spread, probably for the very reason that I didn't do it as long as he did.

I had to read the whole thread to realize that it wasn't you.... and then I remembered this story from a few years back.
I hope you get better, take plenty of B complex vitamins and get those legs moving and some blood pumping.
Hope it gets better soon, consider visiting the doctor if it doesn't/

Oh, if only there was a way to get the accolade and fame of being the "Shroomery's Nitrous Oxide Expert" without the leg paralysis.

Its just another reminder of moderation and taking care of yourself. Before you try any substance you got to do your proper research about using it in a safe manner. This is a perfect example where recreation turned to abuse. Always keep in mind guys and gals, moderation, moderation, moderation. Its no longer fun when the good times turn into hospital visits.

I'm not TOUCHING nitrous until I have full use of my leg back, and then it will be very light use ONLY WHILE TRIPPING.
That type of an experience could have very well changed your subconscious view of Nitrous Oxide and could lead to bad trips. Be careful and if there's a problem yell: "BOO"!

Dude I thought I was losing my hearing and I had an acute ear wax build up.
So chill the fuck out, see a doctor, and don't assume anything by reading about it on the internet.

Im familair with this condition and I dont think it has anything to do with NItrous...It sounds more like a pinched nerve or something else that is causing an isolated case of Leg paresthesias...which can be anything from Celiac to buergers Tentany-- Sjogens--- T.myelitis---Hypothyroidism(sp) to GB syndrome...or probably just something minor. Im not saying it's 100% not due to the nitrous but I would definately put my money on something else. A loss of feeling in your legs/arms from nitrous in conditional with all your extremeties and usually starts with toes-fingers-tips of ears etc... I worked as an HA for a faction that worked alot with cardioly/neurology...even though we didnt get any patients that had B12 defecienes, Ive done alot of research on this and numbness located to a single foot, leg or arm is quite a common condition and can be a number of things.
BTW, believe it or not, 90% of documented nitrous induced B12 defeciency is documnted with dentist/dentists assistants whom over the period of 10 years, 8 hours a day were exposed to non-intoxicicating amounts of ambeint N20 floating around in the room. There arent many thorough investigations but the Medical librarias I read also showed this longterm exposure only showed negative symtoms with thos whome had a vegetarian or more specifically a vegan diet.

Well there ya go TM, you had to indulge in so much N20, and you had to let everyone here know how much cartridges you had and about how you loved N20; and about how it was so great. I can't say I feel sorry for ya, but I hope lesson learned

Kernicterus... I believe that's how its spelled... B12 deficiencies can cause neurological problems. Fortunantly, many cases resolve once proper nutritional balence is restored. It's usually seen in people who are starving, or are severe alcoholics. I can attest to the fact that nerve damage takes a long time to fix... I had some damage done to the radial nerve in my right arm in a motorcycle wreck... took a couple years before the sensation came back to all of my fingers. Just be good to yourself. Eat right. DON'T DRINK. That causes more deficiencies as B12 is absorbed in you stomach, alcohol prevents that from occuring. Get well!

You are definitely at least partially correct. I already know for sure that I have buldging discs at L4-5 and L5-S1 that are impinging on nerves and I've had facet blocks done in December and a nerve block done 15 days ago. But, I'm thouroughly convinced that the paralysis is caused by the nitrous. Were it not for the nitrous abuse, I'd just be in pain with some numbness.

You may look into spinal stenosis also.... I have it. If you've had back trauma, it's a possiblity. It's a gradually progressive condition that bone growth in the spine starts compacting and pinching nerves inside the spine. Causes weird stabbing pains in my legs and ass sometimes, occasionally I get a parasthesia in one of my legs, but it usually resolves within a day and after a NSAID (Lodine, Advil, etc) or 2.

By doctor's orders, I've been taking 800mg of Ibuprofen every 6 hours. It helps, but isn't a cure.
