'I was told I was going to wreck my legs and didn't listen': Woman's agonising symptoms after past returned to haunt her
Lying in a pool of her own blood, Elizabeth Forrest accepts the fact she’s going to die in her father’s spare room.
“Whatever I was using wasn’t working because I was using that much of it,” she said. “I thought, ‘I’m going to die’. I could feel it; it was a weird feeling. I was at rock bottom.” It didn’t take her long to learn the dealer had been jailed while she was away. Unable to find amphetamines anywhere, Elizabeth was offered heroin. The moment would change the course of her life forever.
Elizabeth, 45, tried to get clean several times but would always relapse. After spending years injecting drugs into her arms, she began using her legs instead – a decision that would cost her greatly later down the line. “The damage is just chronic,” she said. “The constant oozing of fluid is impacting me badly mental health wise.
Despite several operations on her abscesses, nothing can stop her skin from oozing. And although she got clean in 2017 after six detoxes, Elizabeth’s life continues to be ruined by drugs, stopping her from achieving her goal of becoming a support worker for young people.
