I wanted to write a bit about the symptoms that I still have.
It's going on month 6 now after removal of amalgams which were drilled out hence I was exposed to vapors (sorry to repeat myself, just a refresher for some of you or for those of you who are new to this forum).

I am currently experiencing my good/bad days and am on a roller coaster detox ride. On the days that I know I am detoxing here is a usual day in the life of Nina: I have difficulty falling asleep, at night have some palpitations, feel heavy in the chest, sweat, wake up earlier than usual to have several bowel movements in a short period of time 1-2 hrs upon waking ( I assume this is good and Algin is probably playing its role) Also I have what I call a "metal head" feeling. For those of you experiencing mercury poisoning you probably have some idea what I mean by that. I then start feeling depressed and/or anxious and weak and may get a panic attack. I also get a sharp stabbing pain in my back which then goes to the chest. I also have extra mucous in my mouth. My body starts feeling sore and tender (stomach, kidneys) and I get very sensitive to sounds and light. I see black spots and/or shapes in front of my eyes. I feel that my body is no longer mine and that mercury has full control of my body and brain.. I know we all talk about our symptoms but perhaps I just wanted to write it all down for my sake and for sake of others who may be experiencing similar things and are at a loss of words when their family and loved ones ask them what's wrong. When I start experiencing all of this I only have the strenght to say, I don't feel good..so I just wanted to share this with all of you and try to get a sense of relief that I am not alone in this and that it will not last forever, because sometimes it really feels like this is a neverending agony.

Regardless, I am looking forward to the good days, and I am hoping that in 6 more months I may be almost symptom free. In the mean time I keep my Algin handy and try to keep going the best that I can. If any of you are experiencing similar symptoms I would love to hear from you. Sorry for being negative, but you can guess I am having one of the 'bad days' and this forum is the only place in the universe where I can talk about it freely.
