tracy/sandi, thank you for your replys. I will continue to take the milk thistle as I know its good for the liver etc, hopefully me not having a gallbladder wont interfere to much with the mercury thing, i guess like a lot of things time will tell, I am actually feeling a bit better now, sometimes I think some reassurance from other people going through the same thing helps more than anything. Anways thanks for the help/info <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
