I know that everyone in my family that has amalgam fillings has hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). My mom has it so bad that she once actually lost her vision for a few minutes, and my brother has nearly passed out before.

I also had pretty bad hypoglycemia. When it would hit, I'd start feeling hot, nauseous, claustrophobic, and really, really irritable. I'd have to eat or drink something immediately...I would be nearly in a panic.

Since I've had my amalgams removed, the hypoglycemia seldom bothers me. In fact, I hadn't really thought about it much until lately. I started doing a lot of really heavy-duty, all-day yard work every weekend for the last 4 weeks or so. I was surprised to notice how much my old "mercury symptoms" came back...with a vengeance...I've been abnormally irritable, I've had multiple low blood sugar attacks, my sleep has been poor, I've had a lot of fatigue and tiredness and my skin has been itching even though there's no sign of bug bites or anything to explain the itching. Also my vision has seemed a little worse and I've had neck and shoulder pain like I haven't had since before I had my amalgams out.

I've definitely had to increase the vitamin C, vitamin E and Algin in order to deal with this. I've also decided to take a break from the yard work for a week or two until my body recovers. I definitely attribute all this to mercury, because the yard work was the only thing I've done differently these past few weeks.

Anyway, I mention all this to reinforce my belief that hypoglycemia can definitely be caused by mercury. I experienced hypoglycemia for years while I had amalgams, then it seemed to go away once the amalgams were removed, and now I'm experiencing it again since I've "stirred up" the mercury that's stored in my body. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
