Two days after completion of my first round of DMSA.

I have had an amazing & wonderful morning today. I am less colorblind than I was! This is totally astonishing. Walking to work I kept noticing how bright everything seemed to be, yet it was a cloudy London morning. I noticed how bright and clear the street signs where, specifically the blues. Blues have been sparkling at me all day. Reds and greens are more distinct too. Reading my book on the train was impossible because I just kept looking out the window at all those new colors. Some pictures seem to have more "depth", pictures have been leaping out at me all morning, I keep noticing bright colors across the room, shining at me.

AI does talk about this, he makes a passing reference to colors being brighter and also depth perception. (I don't have my book with me, but I will look it up. It might be in hair test book?) I always wondered if this could happen to me. Makes me think my mercury issue goes back, way back.

I am very colorblind and always have been. I have red/green, green/brown and blue/yellow. The reason I know I am VERY color-blind is because I got myself some special glasses that correct color-blindness. Same principle as dyslexia glasses. Different color lenses somehow correct the vision. I have one pink and one green lense. Called "chromagen lenses".
When I put on the glasses lots of missing colors come back, and also my depth perception get significantly better. Obviously its difficult to know HOW colorblind I am because that's the way I have always been and have always seen. But putting the glasses on made me realise just how drastically colorblind I am. I am very very color blind. Was quiet depressing really, realising just how much I had missed in life, anyway. I also realised how much depth perception I have missing too. The difference was like watching black and white TV and a color TV….a significant difference.The glasses gave me back lots and lots of colors.

The change that has just occurred after this first round of DMSA is not that much, but enough for me to notice straight away that something had changed. As a wild guess, I'd say my colors are approx 15pct better, and some depth perception is back, but it is difficult to gauge.

I always thought that my color blindness was a genetic thing, passed down from my grandfather. He was black and white only colorblind. And guess what he did for a living…………yup……he was a dentist. LOL what a crazy world we live in!

And that's what has come back this morning, colors…..most astonishing indeed. Made my day and that's for sure.
