Maybe that hole isn't intravenous drug use related??? If it is, it doesn't look like a convenient spot to inject. Maybe a hole to insert a medical device?? A form of skin art? :noclue:

He's a seasoned pro as a user - it's surprising (alarming) to have that in such a visible place, if it is from using. I'd be more likely to think it's coincidental if it wasn't the only thing that would give any sort of reasonable explanation for the weirdness. Unless he's past the point of discretion and caring.

It's just fucking sad, if that's where he's at. After all of the struggles over the year. It is long covid indeed if he's relapsed during pandemic like so many others - just not Covid-19.

I obsessed with Jane's in 2006-2008 as a middle/High schooler. But as I'm growing older. Who really even still cares for this band? Their music is outdated and their live performances are a joke (Perry Farrells tendency to sing in vocal melodies parallel to what's recorded). I think janes are a perfect example of a cult in music.. should have died off forever in 1991 (with a proper farewell 1997 tour). Janes should have disappeared without a trace and their legacy would not have been tarnished but remain legendary.

Also, TLDR me the drama between Dave and Jane's because the comments sure seem to hint at something other than Dave fighting a flu.

It’s also a little bit of a ritual or habit (winky face) for a lot of us to keep up with the latest Janes drama and hang out with each other here.

I've been suckered in. Since miggy brought me in xiola back in 2008... what a fucking cult.
Blast from the paaaaast. Wow. Miggy, haven’t thought of that guy in a decade.

I hate even posting this, but someone sent me a close up picture of Dave’s arm from a recent picture and there’s a big abscess on it. A huge hole. It looks terrible. Just absolutely heart breaking to see. For me that sort of confirms things.
:-(

Dave’s latest Instagram post makes it sound like he is engaged?

What a rollercoaster ride. :boobs: :noclue: :blah: :blah: :drink: :drink:

Yikes.

Whatever that is is looks bad—I’m entirely ignorant about drugs and shooting up but in your forearm seems like a bad place?

Could that be a medical port?

Grasping at straws here

Ugh

If this what’s going on, then it’s a horrible confirmation as to why the band has been communicating like they have. Gotta be super stressful and upsetting and weird.

I’ve only ever seen a port in the chest. Do they put them other places?

I hope it's not, but that's a pretty significant hole.

Damn sad, hope he pulls through whatever is happening - regardless of anything related with JA.

Ports can regularly be placed in the inside/outside/back of the upper arm, but I've never seen one on a forearm. Not saying it hasn't happened, but I've never seen it.

My wife is an IV nurse who deals frequently with Heroin users. She's pretty certain that that is an abscess from injecting. So devastating.

I know absolutely nothing, but the location of it does make me wonder if he’d been injecting in that spot because of the tattoo so it wouldn’t be as noticeable.

I hope if he is in trouble that the girl he’s with isn’t enabling him.

Let's hope if that is the case, that Dave gets through it.

Yes, I hope Dave gets the help he needs. :sad:

As HOka mentioned above, I'm curious if his fiance is trying to help or is a user herself and/or enabler??

Here's a snip from a pic on Dave's Insta from Jan 8th- no visible mark on his forearm.

Well shit. Now I feel bad about being so critical. People had speculated about this, but I really didn't think that was happening. Obviously getting well takes precedence over anything.

Jesus. One pic is him appearing ready to inject a needle in to his forearm.

I sincerely hope we’re misunderstanding all of this. That the hole in his arm and all of the other evidence has a better explanation. But if not, how the hell can we help him? I mean, I guess there’s not much we can do? This sucks.

It’s possible he might doing that suspension thing. I remember he was hooked all through out his arms a few years back. This pic from December you can see a bunch on both arms

Hmm. That could be a good explanation, but that pic from January 8 doesn’t have a hole in that spot on his arm. I guess it could be new? Do you just walk around with gaping holes in your body when you’re doing that?

I don’t know, I imagine it’s like a piercing- at the same time they look uneven and haphazard it’s tough to say
