RFI: MY SKULL IS CHANGING SHAPE

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Ok yeah for serious! I have been working pretty hard for finals, I suppose squinting alot to read etc (I need glasses and don't have any). It occurred to me this might worsen my sight a bit, it did not occur that I WOULD DEVELOP A HUGE FUCKING RIFT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF MY SKULL that seems to be widening every day and changing the shape of other bits of my face! Is the permanent? Is this gonna keep growing until my skull splits into two discreet skulls? Can I reverse it?

Tel me about SKULL MORPHINGS you have experienced!

His brain is trying to escape, I think.

Dude this is scary! See a doctor.

Unless the rift's always been there and you've only just noticed. Possibly due to the increased amount of time spent with your head in your hands, despairing.

What is mental is that only noticed it because my roommate was pacing around the room like a week ago looking worried and I asked him what was up and he was like "oh god revision work work work lame, I now have a ridge down the middle of my skull, wtf?". I ws all "Hahahaha you loser freak WAIT WHAT OH GOD".

That happened to me. I've been wearing glasses for 5 years now and the Clint Eastwood-like angry-brow bulge is still there. I'd say it's permanent, so get glasses ASAP and stop squinting.

UP that is useful, thanks :(

Maybe it has nothing to do with squinting, though. Maybe it's just how your head and face keep growing through life. As I'm feeling my forehead right now, it truly feels like bone that has protruded, not muscle build-up. Pretty weird. Maybe my thing is different from what's going on with you. There, that puts more of a positive spin on it!

You have that virus from the Doctor Who episode tonight.

Ok I am wearing a friend's glasses now. If I just do this until Friday and then get glasses and/or never read anything else again ever I will at least have taken reasonable precautions...

(I am sorta comforted my the fact that my roommate who has pretty good vision is going through this too, which I guess at least disproves the "natural growth of face thing", but still! It sure feels like bone...)

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Saturday, 21 May 2005 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Why would it disprove the natural growth of the face thing? Is your roommate roughly the same age as you? You might just both be experiencing Cromag skull growth as you bud into manhood!

search your dwelling for a package or a canister of some sort bearing this symbol:

i was having headaches for a while some months back and started prodding my skull with my fingers, the top of it, pushing, and I swear, late at night, I could feel it moving. It felt like my head was becoming "soft", like I could create divots in my skull. I was terrified. The next morning I prodded some more. Nothing moved. False alarm.

You can cave your skull in just by propping it up on something hard while you watch tv for an hour or so. I had a big dent in the back of my head once and got totally freaked out. It just popped back out slowly with time. But, apparently, skullbone is mushy!

― Unfortunate Prankster (Unfortunate Prankster), Sunday, 22 May 2005 03:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you 2 months old?

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 22 May 2005 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha.

This thread freaks me out and I'm not going to read it anymore.

― Jordan (Jordan), Sunday, 22 May 2005 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

The dent apppears narrower than yesterday. I have started kidding myself that it was always there, as some kind of defence mechanism.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Sunday, 22 May 2005 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread would make an awesome start to a Goosebumps novel.

Where is the dent on yr head G? I have a weirdass lumpy bit on the back of my skull, which I freaked out about when I noticed it a few years ago. Unless you have regularly felt all over your head for a long time and know otherwise, yr skullbumps have probably always been there. Not everyone can look good with a Sinead O'Connor 'do'.

Phrenologists to thread!

― caitlin (caitlin), Monday, 23 May 2005 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Liz I have plenty of dents from like being born and stuff, this one is DOWN THE MIDDLE OF MY FOREHEAD, it's a bit Harry Potter really. Though it seems to be vaguely fading, sorta.

Caitlin yes! Where is Cathy when she's needed?

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Monday, 23 May 2005 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

It's probably a stress muscle tension thing then - there's a big sheet of muscle that covers yr forehead fairly thinly.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 23 May 2005 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Look up Pagets Disease - my da his this and has developed a GINORMOUS cranium. The bone growth is such that he has developed deafness and his brow is down almost right over his eyes....

― Rumpy Pumpkin, Monday, 23 May 2005 11:08 (twenty-one years ago)

But no worries!

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 23 May 2005 12:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Yikes. This thread makes me want to a) stop working on my dissertation FOR EVER, RIGHT NOW and b) kidnap G. and make him lie in a darkened room listening to soothing music for a month.

eleven years pass...

did he ever get distorted

I have a kinda pronounced "RIFT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF MY SKULL" but surely it came from being born, I had not realised it developed at 20. The things you learn!
