I have been suffereing for seven years now. About seven and a half years ago two of my mercury fillings cracked off. About six months later I started getting headaches once a month. THen a headache once a week. And finally a headache every other day. So now for seven years I have been suffering from headaches, eye pain, sensitivity to light, neck stiffness, fatigue, nausea, gaining weight like crazy, and can't concentrate to save my life. It drives me nuts. I have been to over 20 doctors. I have been to neurologists, internal medicine doctors, infectious disease doctors, headache specialists, chiropractors, and even a psychic cuz I was so desperate for someone to tell me what is wrong with me. I was told I might have lyme disease by one doctor and went on antibiotics that made me bleed every time I went to the bathroom. I have had MRI's, Cat Scans, a spinal tap, Chiropractic adjustements, and tried migraine medicines. I have been at my wits end. I can't tell you how many times I have thought about just ending my life. Then recently this one doctor told me to start taking Alpha lipoic acid cuz I was on this one antibiotic that can cause cysts and tumors. I think the ALA made me worse. I now have sever Acid reflux which I didn't have before. I think what is causing all my problems is Mercury fillings and TMJ. I have burning in my stomach all the time and I feel acid refulx constantly now. l think the ALA stirred something up to make me worse. I live on SSI and am trying to get the government to help me pay for the dental work. I am hoping a praying they do. I am so discouraged by living on SSI. It's not enough to live on. I can't afford any altenative treatments I would like to try. I am getting to the point where I just want to give up. I went to see a neuro opthamologist today. I thought they would know about neurological symtomps such as eye pain and light senstivity with these headaches. He was so clueless. He was no different then the other 3 opthamologists I had been to. He just simply dismissed it as migraines. I am trying to read up on stuff on the internet. I get so exhausted reading all the stuff and my eye pain just kills me. I just don't have the energy. I am just praying someone can help me. If the gov doesn't help me get my teeth done I don't know what I am going to do. I even applied to this one foundation to help get my mercury fillings replaced and paid for. They did nothing but get my hopes up. I waited on them for 8 months to tell me that only one person got approved for help. They claim on there website they help 10 percent of applicants per quarter. They told me they had 200 applicants that quarter. I was like well one is not 10 percent of 200. 10 percent of 200 people would be 20 people. THe foundation is called Jigsaw health foundation. They gave me nothing but the run around and got my hopes up. I don't think I can take anymore disappointments.
