No doubt, you can be exposed to a lot of vapor during removal.

Sounds like your taking the right supplements. Detox takes time and normally, symptoms decrease with time so stay consistent and it will pay off.

Vitamin C is very important for joint health to hopefully that will improve for you over time.

It does get easier, at least for me it did. In fact, I feel better now?both emotionally and physically?than I have at any time in my life. The first several months had many "ups" and "downs" but not anymore.

Consistency in diet and detox are key. With a history of joint pain, make sure you stay away from caffiene and sugar if possible (it's hard sometimes).

A great detox method is to visit a sauna or steam room. Mercury loves to exit via the skin.

Hope this helps.
