The Diagnostic clinic is fantastic. I have finallly been properly diagnosed. I do indeed have Mercury toxicity and a very high level of Epstein Barr virus even though my GP said it had gone. Unfortunately I found out something I hadnt expected. My brain is only working to 30% of its capacity and there has been a lot of damage. Because of the DNA of my family either the virus or toxicity has brought on lower cortex epilepsy, which would explain my past convulsions and other symptoms, like daydreaming. 70% of my brain is working abnormally and is full of erratic electrical currents. I have to go back to the clinic next week, a Neurologist is going to take scan photos of my brain to send to my GP. This is because I need referring urgently to a Neurologist as I will now probably have the epilepsy for the rest of my life and need medication to stop the convulsions for the rest of my life. They are going to deal with the other issues too, de-tox and something to try and get rid of the Epstein Barr virus as this is still causing damage. They also said my adrenals are shot. They have told me I will get a lot better than I am, but some of the damage may be permanent. Obviously its good to have things finally and properly confirmed and know that my GP will have to acknowledge the brain trauma, but obviously its also been a big shock and as you might guess I have cried a lot. I have to say they were really nice and I could talk about all my feelings, including suicidal thoughts. She explained to me that these come from the part of my brain which isnt functioning properly and what to do when I get them. I guess it will take a long time to feel much better and to come to terms with having some permenant damage, but I think of Sandi and I guess we' ve all got to deal with whatever comes along. Thanks for listening Tracy.
