Friday nite i got totally trashed. like so much hard liquor, it was rediculous. I threw up everywhere and of course like all other times this happens i have sworn off booze.


ANYWAYS

In the morning the palms of my hands were badly bruised. I couldnt feel them tho. they were like a dark purple but i ignored them as just bruises from last nite. I also remembered lightly stubbing my pinky toe that nite... took my sock off, noticed it was ripped in half and half was black. got that off.

anyways, next day [which is today] i wake up to find weird pouches on my hand. like little pouches of liquid. I dont understand i couldnt feel it but i could tell it was liquid by moving the skin on top and pushing it into one area, making a bubble of skin on my palm.

i took a safety pin, cleaned it with 99% isopropyl and pierced my palm over a sink. I then pushed against it anda light yellowish fluid came out. it was just like water. Since then ive opened a small cut on my palm. like a slit open in my skin. seems like my palm is constantly making more and leaking more of this stuff...

any clues on what this is? should i get it checked out? lets hear what you gotta say

EDIT: Ahh, Dug beat me to it.

my hands feel perfectly fine. i can still kinda feel my palms. i just see these weird lil pouches. the skin is raised on the pouches and isnt sensitive, feels like i just have some leathery skin on em. ive drained the liquid and kept it that way but the skin colour is off.

Sounds like a chemical bath for your palms is draining water from your cells and accumulating it under the skin. Weird. Emergency room for you.

Probably fluid-filled blisters from...something. I've gotten them when doing something that requires a strong grip (e.g. cutting branches with a hatchet), so I'm not sure if they're the same in this case. Anyway, a real doctor would be your best bet, as others have stated.

You were probably hanging off street signs or something else totally stupid, and just don't remember.

How big is it? Sounds like a blister, although if it's the whole hand that might be a problem. Like everyone else said, if it hasn't been hammered into your skull yet, get it checked.

drink some more and don't worry about your palms, if it spreads to your d1ck, then drink some more.

tt is smallpox = very bad

The first symptoms of smallpox usually appear 12 to 14 days after infection.

Following the incubation period The period of time between the infection of an individual by a disease-causing agent and the manifestation of the disease it causes., a sudden onset of flu-like symptoms occurs. These symptoms include fever, malaise An indefinite feeling of debility or lack of health often indicative of or accompanying the onset of an illness., headache, severe fatigue and severe back pain.

A few days later, the characteristic smallpox rash appears as flat, red spots (lesions An abnormal change in structure of an organ or part due to injury or disease; especially one that is circumscribed and well defined.).

Within a day or two, these lesions become filled with clear fluid (vesicles A small abnormal elevation of the outer layer of skin enclosing a watery liquid) and then with pus (pustules A small circumscribed elevation of the skin containing pus and having an inflamed base.). The lesions appear first on your face, hands and forearms and later on the trunk. They're especially prominent on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. Lesions also develop in the mucous membranes of your nose and mouth. The way the lesions are distributed is a hallmark of smallpox and a primary way of diagnosing the disease.


Dude seal the house and call the CDC. This is gonna be worse then the bird flu =/
