Wow, thank you for directing me to that, it is certainly a very powerful story. Luckily the feeling came back in my husband's leg fairly quickly, but I can't help but wonder if it had a similar cause. When I started reading the story I wondered how it could be similar in any way because my husband doesn't do any kind of drugs, but then NatnNick mentioned kidney failure. For months now my husband has been exhibiting signs of possible kidney distress (including a pain in his lower back that we'd initially thought was a cracked rib following a drunken fall on some ice, but it's still hurting him months later) that's probably from taking huge doses of Ibuprofen while drinking. It sounds like similar nasties at work, at any rate.
