Remember my hand? It's lead poisoned

Ok, my friends, I have yet to take the actualy blood sample tests, MRIs, etc. (going tomorrow morn) but today the specialist who I saw, after examining my hand, says that I most likely have a mass disrupting my nerve, which is the cause of the weakness.

He says it's probably a heavy metal, which is most likely lead. He asked me if I drank from clay pots or if I ate mexican candy. Well, I sadly eat a lot of Mexican candy (mostly those chilli watermelon lollipops) and I myself had already seen in the news before about lead being in the candy but never really payed much attention. I guess it finally stacked up and it's probably the most probable reason to my hand's numbness and weakness.

I'm gonna go take the laboratory tests tomorrow (man I fucking hate taking blood samples) to actually confirm the doc's speculation. The doctor says we have to hurry with the examination or else my hand could never be the same again. Also, if what the doctor says is true, I's gonna have to have my hand operated to remove the mass disrupting it ASAP.

Fuck man. Why couldn't it have been lead in Chinese candy? Fuck.

I'm taking it cool right now, but I really just hope for the best. I want to be able to play guitar again. Lots of other things again. Just wish me luck folks. :buttrock:

If they had lead in tortillas the entire Mexican population would be decimated. :crying:

At least the candy doesn't give you the shits or anything.

I remember reading your post awhile back, and feeling genuine concern....

I'm glad to hear you finally know what the heck it was...

I look forward to hearing that your hand has recovered well, and are back to playing the tunes.

Oh wow... I hope that all goes well..
The blood test process is just insane imo. How many samples did you have to give? What's in that Mexican Candy?? HFCS(High Fructose Corn Syrup) and or CS(Corn Syrup) and lead??
Anyway,best of luck to you especially with the surgery..oh boy.

Good luck!

Just wank with the other hand for a bit.

Look at it this way, at least it's only your hand right now. Could have been worse, imagine that shit in your brain or something...

I've been there w/ lead poisoning before in my hand as well. Hell, I still think that piece of lead from the pencil is still inside my wrist, but oh well. I wish the best for you and hope that nothing extreme happens. Take care, dude.

I eat lots of Mexican pussy... lots and lots. I never got lead poisining, though I did get herpes in the back of my throat. Did I bitch? No. Did I moan? No (only when I was with the Mexican).

Toughen up.

How in the FUCK did they manage to get lead in the CANDY??? That is just about one of the worst things I've ever heard, man. Someone thought putting lead in children's food was a nifty idea, and they deserve to die.

Man, those watermelon chili pops are so good... :mad:

My fiancee astutely reminded me of a CSI episode of this guy who ate lots of chocolate candies; well these candies were from Mexico.

I'm sorry to hear about this man, please get well soon!.
