Shabu?

A friend has come to stay with me.  After going to bed and sleeping for about 3 hours, she started to behave rather strangly.  She made a lot of actions with her hands and arms, mainly in the direction of her face, quite powerfully.  She then urinated in the bed.  She was quite hot - some perspiration on her forehead.  The whites of her eyes were quite red - and her eyes were wide open as I spoke to her.  She was breathing regularly as though she were asleep.  Some twitching occurred - especially in the region of her abdomen.  She was producing a lot of saliva, almost to the point of choking, some coming out of her mouth.  I could NOT wake her.  Eventually she awoke and knew nothing of the incident.  She had a shower and changed clothes.  She is now sleeping normally.

I know nothing about drugs, but I do know that there are a number of people using Shabu (whatever that is) in this area.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Alan

Sounds like a seizure to me as well. She should get checked by a Neurologist.

"Shabu", also commonly known as "Ice" is dextromethamphetamine. Speed.

Sounds like a seizure/convulsion to me. But I'm no expert.
