Yes Tia, I can totally relate! Everytime some thing has been diagnosed I have celebrated cause I think I am finally going to get better only to find later that there is more to it. However, I have thought about it a lot and think that Mercury (and in my case lead and thallium also) must be the root cause because what causes mercury poisoning ....... Mercury! So I figure if I get rid of that I've got it sorted. Also I firmly believe that having hope helps as it enables me to remain positive and I know I feel worse when I don't have a positive attitude.
