Hi Linda, I think many of the stuff I've gone through has definitely been beyond me, but I was lucky to have someone who pretty much put up with it and would bring meals into me. I was a candidate for a mental hospital, but just wasn't taken in. Spent more time in my room and bed languishing than much else. I wonder what would have occured had I been taken in.....makes me think I could have ended up in a worst state and permanently in care or on medication.

Taking stock of my diet was probably the only thing that took "some" of the load off and I could function a little more normally (if you can call it normal).

I haven't been too good recently. I went to a dentist to get four of my existing white composites redone in cerec porcelain. Well, normally after ANY visit to a dentist (even just going inside a dental office) I get a dreadful backlash of symptoms from the mercury vapor in the office. And this time around i thought I had gotten home free because I didn't notice any real problems.

Unfortunately it did indeed happen and might explain why I have been exhausted with itching in the face (usual reaction to vapor) and unable to bounce back as much, worse mental symptoms and the list goes on.

So yeah, one dental office visit for me is pretty devastating and long term. Just goes to show how stuffed my immune system is and how sensitive to mercury I really am. ON top of that, you can count the local anaesthesia as well, which is also very toxic to the body. My body tends to hold toxins in, rather than eliminate them, so I remain sick for a LONG time after an exposure.

I'm still sticking to the diet, but am still experiencing symptoms. I am finding that even cheese is a problem for me, so that is something I'm struggling not to eat! But all in all I believe it was the last dental visit exposure that I'm dealing with on top of the usual.

Pretty sad, when you consider that one dental visit just for a check up and clean would do the same!

I hope you are doing ok Linda! I hope over time all these symptoms will become something of the past and something you can shut the book on. Mercury is so nasty that it just defies belief that the stuff is used in anything!
