I believe I have had symptoms all my life here and there but 13 years ago I was pregnant with my last child and my mother had cancer and died when I was 6 months along. My dad and I were the ones that took care of her until the end. After that I went slowly down hill until 6 years ago and had 4 of the fillings out. I came back a little after about a year and money was short so could not finish removal. That was a really stupid move it has costed me more now than if I would have just finished the job. Anyways I was doing ok(I never had total muscle control back and I still had the fatigue at times) until my work picked up big time and menopause came on and down I went again. A year ago I found out I had h-pylori and did not even connect the problem to my last 4 fillings until one day at my sisters house we just happened upon the smoking tooth video. DUH!!! I was just so sick and could not see it. And I hadn't done any research on the amalgams in like 4 years. There is alot more info now. So now everyday is a struggle as all of you know and hopefully one day we will all be a whole lot better! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pacing.gif" alt="" />
