When I was little Part III



RIP Grandma, you magnificent woman you. 
 
Aw and yes, I actually have dark brown hair. But I am lazy and just don’t like coloring in my comics- sorry if that shifts your reality.  I think all in all, I played with it for a whole 7 months. This is the key here peeps, because you don't get mercury poisoning by just touching that broken thermometer. It takes constant exposure, and the right temperatures (for its vapor to release) for it to harm you. Your skin surprisingly doesn't absorb it like you think.

I say this because I am getting a bunch of messages from people self-diagnosing themselves after reading my comic.


If you really feel that Mercury was the cause of your migraines… then you need to go to a neurologist and get diagnosed with it to be helped. Otherwise, please refrain from telling people that you too got mercury poisoning, because there’s nothing I hate more than people who use unfounded diagnosis they got off the internet. Don’t disrespect the illness like that and just assume because I was medically diagnosed with it- that’s what’s wrong with you too. GO SEE A DOCTOR and get a professional’s opinion. That’s what I did.
 
And finally, please remember my gran grew up in a different time, she meant no harm. I loved her to death and feel no ill will towards her. Please be respectful.

  3. My eyes do that too! Actually three times in the last 2wks so had to go get a ct scan to be safe as usually they only occurr every few months. Mine are accompanied by aura and intensified migraine (suffer from chronic daily migraines due to a brain injury) and only normalize once the pain lessens so sometimes that is a few days. Interested to know if yours hurt, frequency of attacks, duration, etc... I don't recall ever being around mercury but my neuro-ophthalmologist seems to think it's just a rare condition that can accompany migraine, not a byproduct of my brain surgeries. Have a friend who gets blown pupils as well but hers is attributed to shingles and is not painful. Sorry for the lengthy ramble, just interested :)

  5. Bloody hell. Just randomly landed on your blog.
    It's just pure epic story, they are just so damn awesome. We all had this kind of things occurring during childhood, but yours are truly amazing. It make me smile and laugh badly to the point I had to sit up and walk out or else everyone in the room would think I'm a damn creep :D

  6. Your memories are hilarious, i read the poop one and cant stop reading the others but i feel bad for the side effect mercury had in you. This one remember me how when i was a child believed that if i eat the mercury from a thermometer i would be like "The invisible man" from a serie that looks like mercury when he transforms, never had the courage to do it and only play whit it really. PD: Sorry for my bad english.

  16. i love this! im sorry you have that damage done but you are doing the same damn thing i would, infact i'd get a couple freinds used to it so that when it happenns in public and im hopefully hanging with one, i could freak out and they could play along "THIS ISNT A DRILL!!" "THEY FUCKING FOUND HER AGAIN? I THOUGHT WE WERE RID OF THEM!" "GET SOME DAMN TINFOIL" "DO HER EYES LOOK LIKE WERE JOKING!!!" but in all seriousness ho bad does it get? do you have people who can help you and are there for you if it ever gets to bad? what are the list of symptoms and is there anyway we can help?
