I understand what you're all saying. I'm just concentrating on getting healthy again. I think it'd be more bitter if I had children. In fact, I'm sure of that. I also understand I'm probably luckier than most as I've had my fillings out now (mid twenties) and not later on.

I'm glad there are sites like this where we can gain help.

All the problems I've had with my health has made me want to join the green party, to put some pressure on the government.

The problem I see if that environmentalist are sometimes seen as kranks. This is due to the sometimes irrational nature of the things we say and do. This is mainly because of the anger we have, and I understand why we have it. I have it.

I just believe we need to approach things in a temerate manner, as extremists are mocked, which is hard when you see a good portion of your life and others' lives taken away by a mistake, that continues to be made, on the part of the dental associations and the government.
