It does help to talk about it, though. Mercury has taken so much from our lives. This is, yet, one more thing.

My family has been great about it. They have supported me, encouraging me to get the mercury taken out. I wasn't sure that I wanted to try something else that might not work. We had tried so much...spent so much money. And even after spending thousands of dollars, they are still there for me.

What makes me feel better, when I'm down, is to remind myself that I might not have gained the qualities of empathy and compassion if I hadn't gone through this. When I meet up with someone who makes fun of what I went through (becoming a hermit), or just doesn't understand, this reminder helps.

The people in this forum help a lot, too. Thank you for being there.
