I use to get aching in my joints loads, havn't had it for ages, had a good day yesterday. Last night was a nightmare, sweating and aching all over. Got up at 3am went and sat with Luke for a bit, who is a nightowl. went back to bed, had horrible nightmares and this morning aching in ecery possible muscle. Feel like I've done10 rounds with Mike Tyson. Also weak and shaky. Does anyone know what causes this and what helps. I use to take vitamin B1 and this helped a bit but this is much worse.

I don't know, Tracy. I thought I was surely dying of cancer or something terrible, until I figured out I had mercury poison. I have these kinds of pains a lot and have had for years. I never dreamed that the cause could be in my mouth.

Its like you have a reasonable day and you think I can endure this and then bang something else comes along and bang your back down again now today I feel ill and useless and just want to cry

Hi Tracy,

I am new to this forum but have been reading for a while. I really relate to your posts. I was very down and frustrated and felt at the end of my rope in June/July. I went on 5HTP and a multi vitamin (liquid), and Vit C. My ND did not discover mercury until August. I find I go up and down, these last three days I feel very wonky and spinning and I felt great all of Nov hardly this symptom at all, and now today my side is hurting again. I don't understand why it comes and goes. I am now on detox meds (canadian brand) and they have helped so much. I get my first trial tooth out in a few weeks. Hang in there. I know how much better I feel since June. The muscle pain was really helped by the multi vitamin - I take something called Genestra Liquid Multi Vitamin. It has really helped the muscle pains and spasms.

I have also started to track my days on a scale of 1-5 to see trends. Around my period is a really tough time. And even that is getting better but wow, the numbers change for the worst around then (I am sure radical hormone imbalance).
Hang in there.

unfortunately I am allergic to vit c was given th powder version by the Neurologist aIm gooing to see although I did feel some benefit from whatever else was in it I thought my stomach would explode. I thought I was sllergic to vit C cos I ve never been able to eat any citrus fruit I have a lady coming tomorrow who is going to tel me what foods im allergic to and try to desensitse me I hope it works I haave too tried 5HPt but didnt get much benefit from this I know I must allso have an homone imbalance cos since removal my periods, although on time go on for their normal course then start again for a few days, I cant find any pattern to my days only that some I feel ok and can do some things, which makes me feel normal and happy, soe days I am particularly and anxiou and others I just wake up down and more symptoms those are the worst days of all when I get hopeless and think its never gonna end. Because I had such a bad reaction trying to de-tox Im just hoping on Thursday I get the help I need Thanks keep posting Tracy

Can you take magnesium? That is meant to help with aches and pains and I think it has helped me.
