Allrighty. I live in a major city in the United States. I often view people with severe
peripheral vascular problems. In fact this is the second most common physically evident health problem in my area (obesity is most common). In mild cases there is poor healing, bruising, and ulcers. In more severe cases discoloring and severe gangrene. The symptoms effect the hands, ankles, and feet. Of the people I have talked with suffering from this most don't use recreational drugs. Some were diabetic or overweight and other weren't. The only consistent comorbidity is robotic breaking vocalizations. For some reason the problem appears localized in my neighborhood.
Today I found a stranger on the ground unable to walk saying he had peripheral neuropathy. His ataxia was severely inhibiting his mobility (another common physical ailment in my neighborhood). I though he was exaggerating, but was wrong. I picked him up and looked over him. He was in clean clothes, clean shaven, coherent, and of healthy weight. Upon further investigation his voice was extremely robotic and his fingers had discoloration, deep blisters, and non-healing wounds. I think he might have used meth but he appeared sober at the time. I have researched about meth and peripheral necrosis and haven't found anything.
Some of the people I have spoken with have been diagnosed with various things by doctors and prescribed medications, but they don't get better. Dragging and carrying this middle aged man home was terrible. I offered to take him to the ER but he declined because he said the doctors couldn't help before. I have herd the same story from both teetotalers and junkies.
Does someone know about these symptoms? Could you explain about the mechanism and how meth could make them worse? If I knew more I could have talked about the issue with him and the others.
