I guess that time will tell. I hope some of my compulsion problems improve when I've had the fillings out, but it's definitely caused by a brain malfunction, and could well be permanent. I'll just have to wait and see. At least getting the fillings out is doing something positive that "might" help, rather than doing nothing.

I think, though, that in any illness or condition, losing hope of improvement is a sure way of not recovering, but having hope and takig action opens the door to the possibility.

I don't know if I will improve, but I hope that I will.
