Adam Aspinall is now wheelchair-bound and stranded at the top floor of his tenement flat in Glasgow, after treatment for suspected kidney stones sparked a toxic reaction in his body.
A Scots man has been left 'trapped' in his own home after suffering a rare reaction to an antibiotic.
Over the following days, Adam developed cracking joints, pain in his arms, neck, hands, achilles and back as well as freezing cold legs and feet, muscle spasms, a 'weak feeling' in his lower body and a stabbing sensation across his skin. "There's not a definite reason behind the diagnosis - I saw a specialist in Glasgow who believes it is an immune response; it's rare but it does happen."He added: "It's only getting worse at the moment, it's difficult to even hold my phone or a bottle of water. My life has flipped upside down, I feel trapped in my own home - it feels like my life has been destroyed from taking just two pills.
"It feels like I've been slowly watching my body fall apart over the past few months and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it." He says this equipment will finally allow him to go outside, access essential services, attend important appointments, and reconnect with the outside world.
