I get that too - like I just want to sleep. And yet, when I go to bed, it's ages before I do.

I've had most of my amalgams removed now. I have about three major one left. I have noticed a difference. After my root-canal tooth was extracted, I got a period for the first time in 2 years, and other symptoms improved. I'm sure my vision has improved slightly aswell. Having gone through recent removal, though, some of them are back. I've read that things intensify for a bit, and then the improvement starts.

I am experiementing with different vits. I can't have many things either because I'm allergic or they are not-vegan. I need to improve my diet and vit intake, but it comes down to that again "can't be bothered". But I know I have to "be bothered" if I want to get well. I suffer a lot from depression, both because of mercury and the isolation that I get from my anxiety problems. Aswell as low-self-esteem and just not feeling up to things in general. I have often not wanted to live anymore, and still get that, but I fight that because life is a precious gift and there is so much we can all do, in our own little ways, to make this world a better place. Sometimes I lose interst in everything, even God, though I am a believer, and I have been through hell sometimes. I don't think anyone really knows what I have been through because of this poison, or the pain of panic attacks and how it makes me feel.

But I do believe we will get better if we do things as right as we can - get good dentists, replacement materials, supplements, and do our research on best detox plans etc. I don't expect it to happen overnight, but I definitely have experienced improvements. And that's as a mostly vegan, who they say improves slower.

I generally sleep better now, have a better body-clock, don't get pins and needles in the night as much, my eyes are less light sensitive, and I have more enthusiasm for things. It's only small things, but to me are evidence I'm on the right track, especially as it's only been 4 months since I started removals.

I hope this gives you some encouragement <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> There are those who are doing things better than me (I am phobic of supplements and things, which doesn't help) so if I can get some improvement, there's got to be hope for others.

I totally believe my mother has mercury poisoning, and the hardest part for me is that she won't deal with it. If she dealt with it, then it wouldn't hurt the way it does to see someone you love suffer and not do anything to help themselves. If they help themselves and have a positive attitude, it makes all the difference, in my humble experience. So if your children see you are making an effort and facing things, I think they will admire you for it.

Dear Demi fortunately the youngewst is 12, but its so hard as she remembers me as a very happy ,confident and bubbly person. Like you sometimes I can't be bothered to do anything and sometimes when I want to ,I just feel too ill, those days I have to force myself to do the least little thing, but just want to be asleep. Unfortunately insommnia is a big problem for me. Have you had any amalgams removed? or any chelation? I have my initial appointment on Monday. My biggest fear is that it won't make any difference and I don't want to continue living like this.
