I think we must all have doubted ourselves with amalgam illness. I know that I have felt (and still do) like an alien when trying to explain to other people why my life is basically on hold and has been for the past 3 years. But I have proof beyond all doubt that it is amalgam illness with a hair analysis that shows elevated mercury. I also have a vega analysis which diagnoses heavy metal toxicity. And the killer symptom for me is a metallic taste in my mouth - why else would I have that? While these things are not helpful in terms of convincing the doctors, they can help convince you that you are not a hypochondriac. I strongly recommend a hair analysis, and getting hold of Andy Cutler's hair analysis book to interpret it.
