Thanks for the encouragement, Bex, but I can't handle taking vitamins, let alone the DMSA. I have so many phobias that I can't even eat some foods. My only hope is that my body excretes toxins quickly. I had chronic OCD as a child, but once I stopped getting amalgams and cut out fish, I had a vast improvement. Without some kind of chelation, that is somewhat "unusual", but I do think that some people naturally flush out the toxins, and others don't. I'm just going to see how it goes. I still have some amalgams, so need to get those sorted first (as soon as I can afford it).

I really do suffer so bad from phobias, have since the amalgams. Mostly I cope ok, it's just when I'm with other people that it can be a problem. When I'm alone I can do things my way, but it gets hard when I'm around people - like I can't go on the London Underground (and especially since the bombs it's out of the question for me), so if I'm with people who want to go, they have to change for me, which is a pain. And I have phobia of buses (because they get crowded). I handle it, though, and I'm not as bad as I was a child. I have numerous other phobias, especially germs and things like that.
