DID ANYONE ELSE GET HEAD AND FACE PAIN/TINGLING AFTER REMOVAL. DOES THIS MEAN SOMETHING POSITIVE IS HAPPENING OR NOT

Tracy, when I first broke one of my silver fillings, I got weird tingling in my head- a bit like pins and needles without the numbness which would come and go - and very bad headaches often with very sharp shooting pains in my head. I thought this might have been caused by an ear infection and labrynitis that I had had just before I got the tingling. It was a while later before I connected the tingling with my broken filling, I decided that the mercury must have leaked out and that was causing the tingling . I then got out all my silver fillings (apart from one under a crown). The tingling went away, for ages, but it has came back this last month. I got my fillings out without any of the proper precautions, so I obviously had lots of mercury in my system. I am not sure what the tingling is, or if I should be worried about it or not I am hoping it will go away again and that it is the mercury coming out rather than going in!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> I always have had headaches - bad ones at that, all my days (I'm in my thirties) but now I rarely get one - so that at least has improved. I am not sure what can be done to prevent or stop the tingling other than letting time take its course, but a while ago I did take Omega 3 and 6 supplements and that seemed to help it a bit, although this was maybe a coincidence. Although the tingling has come back this last month it is not nearly so bad so I am hoping it will eventually dissapear.

Hope you feel better soon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Lizbet, how is your bite? My dentist says that my poor jaw alignment is more likely responsible for some of the pains I get in my neck and lower head from time to time. When the alignment isn't right, it puts a strain on the muscles etc. I had treatment for this while I was growing up, but they couldn't correct the problem completely because I was a bad case. I dont know if it would cause the tingling, but a bad bite might cause stress to the head.

Hi demi, I think my bite is ok I mentioned my headaches to my dentist several years ago, when my headaches were really bad and she didn't seem to think there was a problem with my bite. However, having said that I do think that I clench/grind my teeth when I sleep cos I used to wake up with a bad head and sore jaw.

I think the tingling is connected to the mercury cos it all started up when I broke a big silver filling, then it dissapeard for a few months then after I got my silver fillings out about 3 months later it came back - weird!! This has all started up since my silver filling broke, maybe its all a coincidence, the only other thing that I thought might of caused it was, as I have said, a bad ear infection which led to me having labrynitis I was very dizzy when I had this, and thought the tingling might have been related to that. Although I still think its more to do with mercury than anything else.
My head is still tingling now and again, and I seem to be having a problem with my blood sugar just now I think I must be hypoglycemic cos I have had a few shaky moments lately again I never had this before I had my fillings out.

Anyway thanks for your reply <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I've had labyrinthitis aswell, and think it was mercury related. I clench/grind my teeth in the night and I woke up very dizzy a couple of time, and I think it was because of the mercury. I've also had tingling in the scalp. I just wasn't sure if it was mercury or my bad bite. But I do think that mercury can cause them aswell.
