i re-read your posts and realized that your did'nt have an independent air source. The most dangerous thing about mercury is the vapor. You can swallow a deadly dose of mercury but it's not such a big problem because most of it won't be absorbed. Mercury vapor can be extremely toxic in small quantities and most of it will be absorbed by the body. If you drill the fillings out a lot of mercury vapor comes out of amalgam and you will inhale it if you are not protected. No wonder that the removal made you so much worse. I would try to find a dentist that has an independent nasal air source even if he is in an other country. it's nice to have a rubber dam etc. but the really dangerous thing is the vapor.
