Teri,

I am so happy for you that you completed your removal. I totally understand your concerns about wanting to be well enough to take care of your children during chelation. I, too, am brain dead and just want to be there for my son. I haven't removed my amalgams yet because of my fears that I would get worse, and would not be there for him. It's so scary to see my 8 year old a zillion times sharper than me. I have trouble processing things he says to me, and the books he reads for school, cannot help him with his analytical math problems. I'm getting ready to go to his baseball game in a few minutes, but it will take everything out of me just to go watch him play baseball because I'm so tired. I'm getting up the courage for removal soon because I have to try to do something to get better. I really wanted to have more children and this all hindered me from being able to. I really hope you start to feel benefits soon - I know much you want to really be able to experience "being there" with your kids - that is all I want in life too! Keep us posted as to how you are doing. Remember, we are all there for you if you need us.
