Missy, I definitely agree with you. In fact, before I had my amalgams removed, I had terrible PMS (about 3 weeks out of the month) and painful periods the first 2 days. I was using a progesterone cream and it helped some as long as I remembered to use it faithfully ( Pro-G-Yam 500). However, the good news is that with my mercury fillings out, the Pro-G-Yam cream works great. I have actually experienced pain-free periods that are about a day or so shorter, as well as lighter. I'm not on any birth control, so it's definitely the fillings that made the difference. I admit, if I do forget to put the cream on daily, I may experience a little cramping the first day, but nothing like it used to be before the removal. And, better yet, I only get PMS for maybe a day or two! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I really encourage everyone to seriously research the subject of mercury poisoning from amalgam fillings. It honestly changed my entire life...I'm a different person emotionally, mentally and physically!
