Hi Bex. I think I understand your shyness very well. It has been my problem too, and I recognize similar things in my behavior. I can't stand the idea that many people would focus their attention on me (like in your case, praying). I would feel *very* embarrassed. So like you, I mostly stay at home. I also feel uncomfortable with strangers. I still remember how much my hands shook when I needed to cut a piece of cake on my plate, and there were strangers around on one occasion. And coupled with the depression, not a very good combination if you ask me.

But this is all slowly fading away now, with chelation. What a relief!! Although I'm not so enterprising yet, I definitely feel much calmer, and not the same kind of feeling of impending doom.

Have you relapsed back to the situation when you had amalgams, or is your situation in any way better now?
