What do you make of this? Long.

There is a good chance I'll DD this later, but need to discuss this with someone other than DH, who has his own strong opinion.

My sister is saying she was poisoned on Friday night. She went to a concert then out to a few bars. She went with 3 other girls and one guy. On Saturday she woke up in a cold sweat, vomiting violently, and the shakes. After a little bit she started to feel fuzzy and numb all over. She couldn't sit up on her own or walk, get dressed, anything. So her live in "Boyfriend" drover her to the hospital. They pumped her full of fluids and took a urine and bunch of blood samples.

She says that the doctor told her she was most likely poisoned, but that whatever she was given wasn't showing up on tests. I guess she's still waiting for some results. It wasn't date rape because she never blacked out and remembers all of the night.

I'm not sure what to think. DH thinks she's just stupid and had alcohol poisoning. She swears that she didn't drink enough for that. She is 21, she drinks all the time, so I don't really think it's that. I guess that one of the girls she went with doesn't really like her, and another friend she went with has been acting strange toward her for weeks. She ran into an ex of hers, and they are friendly, but I think he's a creep. Her and her boyfriend have been fighting and it's come to light that he's a pathological liar and a sneak.

I don't know what to think about all of this. I really wonder what happened and what the real truth is. It's scary that there is a possibility that someone tried to hurt her. But then again my sister isn't the most honest person herself. Yuck, what a situation.

    I would think alcohol poisoning too.  Sometimes its the combination and how quickly you drink it not how much you have.  If you have 8 shots in 5 minutes v 8 shots in 5 hours it's going to make a huge difference.  I had alcohol poisoning once (too much grain and cinnamon schnapps) and it sounds similar to her story.  Her case sounds much more severe than mine.  Then again people are just mean and vindictive (is that the right word?) now and I could see a couple catty girls dropping a little bit of something in a drink of a girl they don't really like.  Just a drop or 2 of a household cleaner can do it.

    That's a really scary thought.  I would guess that the doctors would've told her if it was alcohol poisoning based on the bloodwork.  If I were her, I'd lay off the partying, and stay away from every single person she was with that night.  And only get my own drinks from then on.

    Whoa! What a crazy situation. I mean I guess it is possible someone poisoned her. However I will say this... It is all about the company you keep. Was she out with anyone she liked or liked her? I hope for the best but maybe a sister to sister talk maybe on the horizon ?!?

    I would think the doctor would say it was alcohol poisoning too. DH really thinks she's only telling lies and that it was alcohol poisoning, but she's embarrassed.

    I have 2 theories. Either the one or two girls thought they were being funny and slipped her something that they thought would just make her shiit her brains out. Or her boyfriend did it because of all of the problems they've been having. She's thinking of moving out of state and he's about to loose his meal ticket. He's lived with her rent free for almost a year. He seems nice, but you never know.

    I guess I have 2 more questions:

    1.  How close are the two of you?  Will she take your advice if you give it? 

    2.  What does your sister think?  Does she think it was one of the girls or her bf?  Does she even think these people might be capable of something that awful?  If so, she needs to run, and run fast, and realize that someone was trying to hurt her.

    My guess is that it was just something normal, like alcohol or food poisoning. It probably just hit her wrong and caused this.

    But just to be safe, I would watch my back and make sure to hang around friends that I trusted more. And stop hanging out with people that you think may poison you.

    I had a girlfriend that would tell us she was pretty sure she was roofied after nights where she got super drunk.  She'd say that she didn't drink that much and never pukes so she just HAD to have been slipped something.  But I always knew that wasn't the case because I'd been with her all night and knew she did in fact drink way too much.  She just didn't like to admit that it was her fault I think.

    So I'm wondering if she's making up the poison thing to cover for something else?  Or maybe it's food poisoning?

    If she really, truly thinks one of her "friends" poisoned her, I'd recommend she finds new friends!

    We are pretty close, but she has never taken my advice before so this really isn't much different. She doesn't think it was her BF, she thinks it could have been one, or both of the other girls. She also thinks it could have been a random creep.

     I'm not sure what to think, but alcohol poisoning is where my head goes the more I go over what she told me about everything.

    I would definitely think alcohol poisoning first but it sounds like she needs to find a new group of friends anyway.

    It's pretty hardcore to poison someone. You'd have to be a truly nefarious character to actually slip someone some poison with nothing to gain from it but watching the other person suffer. Although rufying for date rape purposes definitely happens (and is awful!!), if she doesn't think that's what happened here, it seems pretty unlikely that someone would actually poison her just because they were mad at her. Alcohol or food poisoning, or maybe a combo, seems a lot more likely. But I have to agree that if you have the type of friends where this seems believable, then maybe it's time to find some new friends.
