10.20.25 | Oof, that sucks man. Swordfish rules but yeah, I know that a lot of the larger fish have high mercury content but I’ve also never really heard of anyone eating enough to get acute poisoning, gotta be a weird experience. |

10.20.25 | hey man i've dealt with a lot of neuropathy, look into na-r-ala, alcar, agmatine sulfate, & palmitoylethanolamide. gl |
TheSonomaDude
10.20.25 | Well really what the doctors have discovered is that true underlying issue is kidney related. most people would not be hit as hard as I did, even with my pure fish diet. but there are signs of disfunction in my left kidney, meaning in this case it's not filtering out the mercury properly, leaving it to settle in my blood and cause damage to my central nervous system. |
TheSonomaDude
10.20.25 | Thank you for the advice budgie. thankfully the numbness has largely disappeared, with only minor flare ups. but it was awful back in July and august. I couldn't feel my left foot at all, like it had permanently fallen asleep. |
Emim
10.20.25 | "look into na-r-ala, alcar, agmatine sulfate"
are these warhammer demons |
Emim
10.20.25 | That's crazy though dude, I had no idea swordfish could do that to you. |
budgie
10.20.25 | i feel u bro that shit is so wack. i had an impinged nerve a long time ago and the numbness in my leg took over a year!! to subside fully. and then one time later i sneezed and my heel was numb for a week. nerve shit is so gay
swordfish is delish tho so i hardly blame you |
unclereich
10.20.25 | Sorry buddy, I hope you get well soon. My great uncle has the exact issue with his kidney. He’s now vegetarian and it’s helped a lot. Hope it doesn’t come to that tho!

TheSonomaDude
10.20.25 | I’m making sure this is the last big bad thing that ever happens to me lol. Im gonna live normally and imma fly high when that does. Already feeling alot better. And yeah, probably shouldn’t have trusted walmart swordfish. I wonder if i can sue? Hmm, need college |
RVAHC13
10.20.25 | If you can sue Walmart for making you sick off swordfish that would be something
Glad you’re starting to feel better though |
brickhed
10.20.25 | pro tip: never go to walmart
also why the fuck would they sell swordfish in patties, that's kind of crazy to me
did the packaging have no mercury warning or something |
Hawks
10.20.25 | Walmart is the absolute worst place ever. |
Emim
10.20.25 | Have you been to pittsburgh |
RVAHC13
10.20.25 | Been to Shittsburgh, Gatlanta, Chiraq, Cracksonville, Snortland, Bodymore, Spew York, Smokan and Coston, Taxachussetts. Still prefer them all to Northern Virginia |

Spec
10.21.25 | am i cool to eat a tin of sardines everyday? |
budgie
10.21.25 | spec i actually did the math on that a while back and no, lol, you aren't, at least for USA recommendations (which are probably less strict than elsewhere in the west)
|
Spec
10.21.25 | are you fr? aren’t sardines low in mercury? |
budgie
10.21.25 | relative to other fish sure but a can a week is still bout pound and a half |
VicariousIntent
10.21.25 | Damn man, that's wild, I'm sorry to hear about your tough year. Been getting into 4 and their other records more than I ever have this year, something about them just totally clicked for me this year.
Also as another person with mental health stuff, I want to say that regardless if it is BPD or other stuff, it's not a death sentence or a curse. Your post shows me you're willing to get support for whatever is going on and ultimately that's the thing that makes the difference. Your awareness makes a big difference. I've spent years thinking I was totally fucked because of my diagnoses. But it doesn't have to define you. |
TheSonomaDude
10.22.25 | Thank you for the words of wisdom. Mental illness runs rampant in my family and none of us get help. I have immediate family who have committed murder, died in police shootouts, and choose to be homeless. Lots of rampant suicide too, and I relate to that all too well. The “sane” all make fun of those poor souls, as if they’re better, but im literally the first in my bloodline to ever even try seeking psychiatric help. You dont know how much i want to be separate from those awful feelings, which is why i speak alot about mental health. |

What math are you doing? |
budgie
10.22.25 | its a lb a day that brings you to the toxicity threshold not a week guess i misremembered
so a tin a day is well within safe guideline |
budgie
10.22.25 | for non americans, lb = 450 g |
ScuroFantasma
10.23.25 | Sick yeah thought so. |
