Hi Tracy

Here's hoping that GP awareness will come soon. I just want everyone around me, including friends who walked away, to know that this is a real illness, not one I am making up for whatever reason. I mean, why would someone go on the most miserable diet, stop socialising, swallow supplements, wake up every 3 hours to chelate, become housebound, depressed, irritable etc when there's so much fun to be had living a normal life?! Why would we do that for years on end if we're faking it? I think I remember reading somewhere that the profile of someone with full blown amalgam illness was similar to that of someone with late stage Aids.

Tracey - are you out of hospital now? Are you a bit better? What did they say?
