Jinx,
what did the doctors think about you having high billirubin? Did they do any other tests to check out your liver? I would be careful taking any DMSA if something is going on with your liver.

Did you ever have any tests for your adrenals? Mine are better now, but not normal yet. When they were at there worst, I would get such a brain fog, especially when I was stressed. Sometimes even having word finding problems. I couldn't even think straight. I also had to eat protein with each meal and have some nuts as a snack due to low blood sugar. I eventually had to learn how to put some carbs back into my diet due to the low blood sugar. I had been on the anti-candida diet for so long and not eating hardly any carbs. One time at work I almost fainted. My doctor gave me some herbal supplements for my adrenals that really helped me. One was called Adreset from Metagenics, I started on this and later switched to AdreCor. I went from feeling stressed and brain dead at work to actually enjoying challenges when we were busy. It was amazing. the signficant difference did decrease over time, but they both still helped a lot.

It is hard to say if this is right for you but mercury and candida can definately mess with the adrenals, so it is possible. low blood sugar, concentration and communication problems can be symptoms of adrenal fatigue.

Yes I agree that doctors don't get the simple connections sometimes. In fact, a doctor that I work with was telling me about some research they did with Auto mechanics. Someone brought a car in with a very simple problem, just low on some fluid or something. Each Auto mechanic recommended something different that would cost hundreds of dollars. The cardiac doctor that was telling me this story believes that physicans do the same thing. Offen ignoring the simple connections or solutions.
