Ugh...I'd hate to have anybody poking around in my eyeballs. Memories of the fuckup by pigs who shouldn't even have been here removing a label and setting up a nasty accident to come, leading to me being hit HARD (enough to dislodge goggles, now I wear a curved blast-shield and vent-less visor underneath to prevent anything the like ever happening again) by a searing, blazing hot burst of extremely corrosive, basic substances along with a jet of ammonia gas and plastic shrapnel, those memories make me more than uncomfortable with the idea of anything or anyone in or around my eyes. The pain was unbefuckinglievable, absolutely shocking, after I had part of my cornea razed and melted off by the nasty, viciously corrosive, searing hot and nastily gritty mixture of alkalis that hit me, having to irrigate my own eye whilst waiting for an ambulance, and just before they got here, dropping a local anaesthetic into the affected eye, wiping it on and around my eyeball with a finger *shudders*, to allow me to neutralize and partly take down a glassware setup that needed to react in a certain, controlled way to avoid danger, and doing the workup after I got out of hospital.
Locals don't work perfectly on me either, I can still feel some pain, although I wonder if it might not be because two of the meds I'm on, clonidine, to prevent overloads, and tizanidine, a relative of clonidine, to relax the leg muscle affected by some nerve damage due to a failed operation, on the knee damaged worst by both falling on glass, and in recovery, when I was attacked and left for dead by pikey filth as a kid, those meds are both alpha2 adrenergic autoreceptor agonists; meaning they decrease noradrenaline release and act as vasodilators.
Local anaesthetics are for many purposes mixed with adrenaline or noradrenaline, to act as a local vasoconstrictor and confine the local to the site of injection (local anaesthetics are sodium channel blockers, and this means that they can interfere with cardiac electrical conduction, leading to arrhythmias if systemically administered. This being one reason that cocaine in excess (or when cut to fuck with non-stimulant local anaesthetics like benzocaine) is a lot more dangerous and worse for the heart compared with other stimulants; a problem due to systemic local anaesthetic toxicity. Although lidocaine, IV is used as an antiarrhythmic drug to cardiovert certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, in the correct setting, but otherwise, systemic locals can also cause arrhythmias directly.
Have nearly had a fingertip gone myself, had to have it stitched back on, after a big fucker of a pike took it almost off, until the tip of my finger was just hanging on by a flap of skin and tissue. I still felt the stitches going in while they were being put in. The teeth wound was too deep to be seriously painful itself though, must have severed or damaged some sensory nerves in the tip of my finger.
Dental work, I fucking HATE dental work, even minor stuff really overloads me. I've often been left 'not right' for more than a week after, in a huge sensory and overstimulation fuckover. I have to have anything dental done under a general so I don't end up catatonic, or more seizure prone, and at best, with getting much of anything done for the next week. Major dental work, and I think I'm gonna need it soon, I've only been putting it off because I need to get certain medical type supplies in place before I do.
And I HATE having my face touched by anyone who isn't a loved one in an intimate relationship. Absolutely hate it, if it isn't by somebody I'm already really close to, the kind of close where any and all time possible is going to be spent with the girl and I, tied up together with our arms wrapped round one another.
