Well, anonymous, I feel better just now than I did this last month, whether that will last is anybodys guess!!

Just when I think I have gone for ages without any of these symptoms, back they come so I'm wary to say that I am totally better. I'm hoping that it will get less and less but who knows?!! I have read on here and other places that the breathing difficulties probably came about because of poor adrenal and thyroid function, your adrenal glands and thyroid are often affected by mercury, so I've been taking adrenal support etc, but the real thing that helped the breathing side was that I looked up hyerventilation on the internet one day, cos really the breathing problems felt like I was hyperventilating i.e. I couldn't get enough air in me and felt like any second I would pass out, so anyway I read a lot of the tips recommended for hyperventilation, like always breathing in and out through your nose rather than through your mouth. Apparently hyperventilation is actually caused by the opposite of what you feel, i.e. instead of lack of oxygen you have too much because when you are hyperventilating you tend to breath faster and faster cos you start to panic and are therefore taking in too much oxygen. Another interesting thing I read about this was that a lot of people who are hyperventilating have a lack of magnesium in them , I will try and find the web site that said this, so I always now make sure I take plenty of that too. Well this has worked so far in regard to the breathing so I'm hopeful that I've solved or at least improved that problem.

As regards the tingling I had in my head that is a weird one. It was my first symptom I had when I thought it might be coming from my fillings, I actually broke a filling at Christmas last year, because it was literally Christmas Eve that this happened and also because the broken filling wasn't sore or bothering me I waited for a few weeks before getting it fixed, and stupidly let the dentist fill it up again with more dreaded mercury, I hadn't made the connection then you see. At the same time the tingling started, I put it down to the after effects of a bad ear infection which led to labrynitis. It was only looking back over a few months and what had happened that the penny dropped and I realised that all this tingling started at the same time as I broke my tooth. The tingling eventually subsided, I took omega capsules so I think they helped, but I'm not sure. At first my head would tingle on and off all day, it was scary, I thought I was taking a stroke or something. Then it got less and less until it disappeared. I did not have it again until a month ago, but this time if was much less intense so is that a sign its improving? I'm not sure. I hope so, but it was horrible at the worst point I remember just after I got the tooth refilled with more mercury I was lying in bed and my head was tingling constantly and I felt like something was trickling down inside the back of my head very very weird I have never had that again but it was very strange.

Anyway long answer to a short question, but yes generally, touch wood, I'm feeling better just now.

I will try to find the website for you regarding the breathing probs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
