lol, I have always thought of a "mummy" (dead thing) when I see people from other countries say that, until I got used to it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Yes, I am in the U.S. It seems a lot of places are opting for the flourescent lights now, because it saves energy. Gosh, I look back on my life, and all the weird things that I thought was just WRONG with me, and it seems like I can put a mercury connection to them. I know my husband believes me about being poisoned, but he also thinks that I can't possibly blame every single thing that's ever been wrong with me, on it. It sure seems like I can. The lighting thing, is now another issue I can put with it.

I used to work for the US Postal Service. I had an excellent good paying job. We had a building with no windows and all flourescent lighting. I would notice once I was in there awhile, would start getting so sleepy. I even dozed off several times, but I worked with hundreds of people, and it seems you could always find someone asleep (maybe they were toxic too, who knows). I used to know the lights bothered me, but I never understood why. I could be wide awake and in the greatest of moods when I went to work, but after being in there awhile I would get sleepy and really depressed, and many times I would find myself crying at work, or freaking out because I wanted to get out of there so bad. Once I would leave and go home, I would start getting energy again, and feel more awake. Maybe this all makes sense to me now. I had many issues of being sick (that I know now, was mercury toxicity), and I didn't get reappointed for my job when my term was up. I was there for 5 years. Sometimes I miss my job so much, but I am now a SAHM and wouldn't trade that for anything. I am also 35 yrs old.

I don't know if it's the sensitivity or the mercury in the lights, but I know I am glad I have people that can relate to me. Everyone thinks I am crazy, and conjuring up things in my head to blame on the fillings in my teeth, but it's good for the soul, just knowing I can come here and open up to all of you.
