to anon : I 'm sorry if I offended you with my comment , that my niece was doing ok ,all meant was that her recovery is going very good , and yes I have had hormonal problems since my mercury toxicity started almost 6 years ago ,but instead of estrogen it is testosterone which is low so I do understand about the whole hormonal issue ,so don't assume that just because I 'm a man that I don't understand hormonal issues and I do realize that she will be starting early menopause ,but it is better than an early grave
