Bex, I appreciate your comprehensive posts...

I'd be happy one moment and then I'd feel it descending on me again and this is what continued to occur for a long time. You end up wondering what is going on, but in the end I knew it was mercury. It plays you like an instrument and the symptoms are quite wild and unpredictable.

You had mental symptoms also not just physical? That is a huge part of my problem. The body usually feels fair or ok, the mind is clouded, anxious, etc. I really got to see how bad this Wednesday.

That's how it was for me with mercury toxicity. You feel like you're getting somewhere, then you get pulled back under. It is a continual cycle of clearing some mercury through painful detox, having a patch of feeling better (maybe a day or a few hours) then more downloads from deeper areas and filling you back up again...

I'm wondering I hadn't taken anything for a week that is a "chelator" or "mobilizer" except a small amount of Selenium. For a couple days I ramped up on the Spirulina (1g per day) and backed off a little when I started getting mentally jittery (hyper) for a day then the next day...WOW.

Starting 12/28 I was taking 750mg MSM which had 60mcg molybdenum (I took it because I ran out of moly and felt I really needed it).
On 12/30 I added Pectasol because I was having lots of low back pain thinking it would help mop up if the MSM was mobilizing. Took that through 1/1. 1/2-1/3 just 100mcg methly selenium. 1/4-1/5 nothing mercury related. 1/6-1/9 60-70 mcg selenium (same kind) and started adding spirulina as described above. On 1/9 I had the wonderful day but a full week from taking any Pectasol or MSM.

Does that fit in with your scenario? Or is a full week a little late to experience the euphoria phase of the detox?
