Wow. When I was around 5yrs old, my older bully brother stabbed me in the forehead with a sharp pencil and my mom took me to the Emergency Room because there was a chunk of lead embedded into my forehead. The Doctors told her to leave it, not to mess with it because if they removed it, it would cause lead poisoning. (at least i think that's what they said, if i remember correctly)
Now 35 years later, the lead is still in my forehead, it's a greenish-blue color and if I put my finger on it, it moves around under the skin (it's kinda gross feeling) It's not very noticeable until i point it out, once i do, you can definitely tell there's a chunk of lead in my head. hahaha What's weird, is I have the same exact symptoms going on as this man did... Mainly a runny nose and a watering right eye along with some eyesight problems and slight headaches. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. It seems my nose is constantly running, like i have the sniffles, but i am never sick. It's not from a cold or anything... Ever! Same with my watering right eye... it's not from allergies or anything, it just tears up every morning for a few hours and then stops... but it's annoying as hell!o
I wonder if it's doing more damage by remaining in my head or if I should've sought treatment to get it removed? But since that first doctor told my mom it was dangerous to remove it, due to the risk of lead poisoning, I just never bothered to pursue medical treatment. I wonder if by leaving it there, if it will only cause it to progressively get worse? :scared:
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
If so, I'd love to hear em'
Thanks!
