low self esteem and shyness were one the first things that disappeared after removal. I always thought that my shyness was a part of my personality now I know that it was mercury poisoning. I still have many mercury symptoms but shyness is no longer a problem. Now I can't even understand why i was shy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> It is irrational and makes no sense.
