Vampires... i need info

What does anyone know about vampires and vampirism? I may be paranoid, but i think something is happening to me that I can't ignore any longer. Its rather embarrasing, so i wont say it here, but I want to know if there is any vampire "experts" out there that could tell me what exactly is going on...

hmm im not expert, but is there anyway you could go in to it a little more?

just so we have something more to go on and possible find you some info that you may find helpfull.

seriously don't laugh... i just want to know if these are coincidences, or something more. For starters, i dont know the if the whole deal with garlic is a rumor or not, but i used to love garlicy foods. but for a while now, whenever i eat garlic, i end up getting really sick and vomiting alot. I cant wear silver b/c it turns my skin black and red and irritates it. I had an open wound a while ago and the doctor had to use a silver nitrate stick to cauterize it. It burned at first like it's suppose to, but the wound has been completely healed over except for where he touched me with that stick, and im in constant pain because of it, not to mention it made me really sick for a while. Also, my eyes have become extremely sensitive to light to the point where i cant be outside for any appreciable amount of time without them burning like heck. Theres alot more, but i think i've said enough. I used to think that these things were rumors that arent really even associated with vampires, so i'm hoping that these are just strange coincidences.

if you want to know the rest, send me a PM

Just sounds like growing up to me.

I'm an astronomer and my eyes are terribly sensitive to light. I've had foods I;ve loved as a chid and hate now and the discriptions you put of silver. Many people are verry alergic to metals most of all Sliver. That why when you buy a watch it will say like "Non alergenic stainless steel"

Maybe you body is just going through a growth spurt you need lots of rest and you body proably wants it that proably why your senstitive to light it wants you to relax.

theres more to it than that though... i dunno, maybe your right. doesnt explain the other things, but i can go with your explanation

How is your sleep?

Ever wake up with a mark on your face, or in pain, or more tired than before going to sleep?

Do you have any tattoos? (not as related)

Mythologically, vampires have to be invited (metaphorically into your body, or 'house') so think if you have done things differently, did you start to think differently significantly a few months ago, did you make any changes to how you treat people, in particular?

I wouldn't try a stake on yourself, or start wearing a cross, but you may want to spend some time thinking, as that is probably the first step is to take back and take a look at your life.

If you are being 'fed' on, that would be most interesting... Since it could basically be pinpointed when it started getting worse, etc.

Good luck!

do you happen to have blue eyes? i have light blue eyes and have been told that , that is why i am very light sensitive and get headachss if i don't constantly wear a basseball hat and sunglasses outside dureing the day.

food alergies reaction can happen at any time. also it sounds like you may have reactions with silver which as has been said is not all that uncommon.

any craveings for blood or etreemly rare meat? any weird dream or eperiances that might have happened? any reaction to religious icons or artifacts? i am not an expert by any means, but thesse these seem to be key partss to the vampire legend as well. epecialy the blood thing. also i don't believe that vampires are able to go out at all dureing the day. and isn't there something about the posibility of actualy being dead first?

I'm going to recommend a site that has some very good info on vampires. It's The Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency. It's an excellent site with a variety of info. However just so you know the site revolves around the theory that vampirism is a virus.

Anyhow I'm going to sumerize a few theories I have on vampirism.

If you stick a huge thing of garlic in somebodies face then they will get irritated, vampire or not. Simply put if somebody shoved a huge lump of garlic up my nose I'd be overwhelmed even though I'm no vamp.

The cross, either this is a myth or a dark ages thing. You see I've come across a theory that states that the cross has no real effect on a vampire. The only effect is that if a vampire is religious enough he may view himself as a demon and instinctivly react towards a cross as if it were going to kill them. As for the atheist vamp, don't bother with crosses is my philosiphy.

Nocturnalism. Ask yourself, when do most rapes, muggings and other various crimes occur? At night, thats because thanks to lack of visibility victims never see it coming. Nighttime is therefore the best time to hunt, this would of course lead a person to adjust to a nocturnal sleeping schedule.

Despite my lack of expertise feel free to ask me anything about vampires, I do know a bit from FVZA and it's forum.

Are you SURE it was silver nitrate???

from allergies.about.com...

Toxicology
Poisonous. Causes burns. Long-term exposure can cause permanent blue-grey staining of eyes, mouth, throat and skin, and may cause eye damage. Short contact can lead to deposition of black silver stains on the skin. Very destructive of mucous membranes. Skin and eye irritant. Experimental equivocal tumorigenic agent.

I also read something awhile back about how some people have allergies to silver, but this is apparently quite rare. I did a bit of googling and found that most people who think they have silver allergies actually have nickel allergies since silver and nickel are often alloyed together, and it is actually the nickel causing trouble. That could be the reason that you cannot wear silver jewelry.

As for the doctor using a silver nitrate stick, if you are remembering the chemical name correctly, I am extremely skeptical.
www.jtbaker.com...

However, in defense of this doctor, I then performed a search on 'silver nitrate cauterize bleeding' and it apparently IS used to treat nosebleeds in the manner you described; I found several sources backing that up, but from my knowledge of chemistry, well, I wouldn't permit that treatment on myself.

I don't feel I have enough knowledge to comment on the other conditions you describe besides the silver one. I will state, however, that I do not believe in vampires/vampirism. I think there are probably sound scientific reasons for what is happening. I seem to remember various conditions where people can become sensitive to light, but I don't know enough to comment, perhaps someone else will.

well i did a report in school about vampires. and apperantly all people that have been bitten die within a month, and then they can wake from their grave at any time, years, or even hours

i've heard a lot of things about vampires and vampirism, but still no expert, and just thought i'd let you know, that things like "garlic" were just commercialised objects, a bit like a chinese whisper. in fact, vampires were never vulnerable to it at all, but somewhere along the line, someone said they were and it was accepted. the same goes for "vampire bats" they've never tujrned into bats, just some bright spark said they did to make a film or story seem more interesting. really, i wouldn't worry about it too much, it's unlikely that you're doing it now, if you haven't been bitten or chosen that path, there isnt anyother way it can happen as far as i'm aware. just when sarah michelle gellar comes chasing you, make sure ur well prepared for "anything"

I am tired in the daytime and restless at night

I wake up with strange marks all over my body, but mostly on my face, yes.

no

I suppose you could say that I have invited them... I used to be very social, but lately I have sort of been i guess "unimpressed" by the people around me. Physiologically, i keep having pretty strange dreams that I could only relate to vampirism. Basically I keep seeing this person tearing into a neck or something, splitting blood vessels and having the blood spray all over their face. It creeps me out, but I've been having it alot lately.

I wouldn't try a stake on yourself, or start wearing a cross, but you may want to spend some time thinking, as that is probably the first step is to take back and take a look at your life.

lol, you'll never find me wearing a cross! I strongly disagree with the symbol, but thats another story. I will try rewinding though.

If you are being 'fed' on, that would be most interesting... Since it could basically be pinpointed when it started getting worse, etc.

what do you mean by "being fed on"?

My eyes are really dark brown, almost black. I can stand light from an arc welder or a cutting torch. Black lights give me seizures sometimes (or at least it did on one occasion). its only sunlight or really bright florescent lights and street lights that cause me any problem

Do you mess around with Satanic rituals or Satanism in general.There are links between Vampirism and devil Possesion.But there are also people who try to bring out their legend to life.Ostension,literally the act of showing,exhibiting or manifesting.

hmm how often do you look at a welding arc unshielded? or even a cutting torch? i took a welding course to try toi find better paying work but we were sternly warned that looking at the arcs is EXTREEMLY BAD for your eyesight and can lead to problems with light such as you are describeing. might this be a part of your problem?

common before uncommon...
remember folks... deny ignorance...

the syndrome you are describing is a rare but increasing syndrome called porphyria... there are several different types, and although the doctors can treat this disease, they still do not know absolutley what causes it...

I would suggest seeing a doctor soon... they will be able to help...

one word of caution: a doctor is just doing his job... which is to be your health consultant... YOU are your own best doctor, but you need his consultancy... so be active in your health and diagnosis... and don't be afraid to ask questions...

No i dont mess around with that kind of stuff. I dont even believe in that kind of thing. Besides, the links between vampirism and satanism are a myth put out by the christian religion from what I gather

i've looked into that. Porphyria is a skin condition in which ,if im not mistaken, your body secretes a chemical which, when exposed to U.V. radiation, gives off a toxic chemical that burns your skin.
This isnt something i am experiencing.

also, i dont look at arc welding or torch light, there's just been a couple instances where i should have been flashburned by it, but wasn't.

Hi Annunakis

Can you go back to 'exactly' .....If possible, the time 'before' ALL this started happening.

Can you remember how you felt, before the dreams, visions, sunlight stuff......Think BACK to 'before' all this.....

Sit down quietly somewhere for about half an hour, to an hour, with NO outside Interferances......Sit very quietly, and 'go back'.....In your Mind, to before all this started happening.....Start thinking about some every day things that you did......Going out, washing the car, going shopping......Anything.......Just think about these things, and in your mind, try and BackTrack, to the times 'before' these Strange Instances.......

Keep thinking about what you were doing before this happened and try and 'feel' how you actually 'felt' then.....How different was it to how you feel 'now'......Don't try too hard when you do this Meditation, just let the answers come to you.

Have you been in contact with anyone......New , or ---- someone that you haven't seen for a while, from the past ---- or, been working with someone, new, or --- has anyone New moved into your area, ie, next door?

The 'Next' dream that you have.......(doesnt matter what it is)......when you wake up....Try and write it down......Do this with the next 3 dreams you have.....It doesn't matter what they are about......or how long they are....

Then.....Think again about the 'dream' that you had......Sit down again (quietly, as before).......Try and go back into this dream, the one you had about being bitten, etc.......Go back into it and feel how you felt about this dream.......

Then.......Think about the Other dreams that you have written down.......Sit down and try and go back into them......See how you 'feel' about 'these' dreams.....Are they the same, do they feel the same as the Biting dream.....

Try and write as many dreams down as you can.

I'll do some more thinking

I have written down alot of the strange dreams and experiences, also I could give you what I wrote as my thoughts at the time when this started happening. I think the beginning of it all was one night a while back when I had sighted what have been deemed as the "shadow people". but this one was different. I havent seen any since then, but i know that they're there. I gotta think on this some more.... so ill get back to you on it. I can hardly think at all right now b/c my eyes are burnin, lol. went to the beach and they've been burnin ever since, anyways, i'll give you an update later
