I don't want to get too detailed but a family friend aparently left home 3 weeks ago and showed up two days ago with blue/black toes, no feeling in legs and very incoherent, repeating same statements, pissed themselves, etc.
Sounds like a spinal abscess.
Could also be botulism. Possibly a spinal infarct (a spine stroke, if you will)
All the above are associated with drug addition.
Could also be Guillian-Barre syndrome from HIV infection, caught by sharing needles.
I'm also interested in the final outcome of this.
