Sandra,
I know what you mean about recoginizing the symptoms in others and how they think that it is just their personalities etc. My husband is a good (really it is bad) example of someone who is totally in denial that anything going on with him can be because of the influence of the mercury (and in his case also the tons of aspertame he drinks each day). He FINALLY believes that this is the reason I have been sick, but says that he weighs so much more than me that it will take several more years before he starts to have problems. HA! Even the kids see how unreasonably irritable, hyper, easily angered, and many other things he has going on. It is very frustrating to have the truth and others don't want to hear it, they just want to complain. Its nice to be able to hear from others that are dealing with the same thing.
