i haven't posted here in quite a while, so i'm just giving you the heads up on my condition.
last august 2004 i had the last of my 9 amalgams out. alot of my teeth were busted because of the fillings so i had to have 2 crowns and 2 bridges. for a year i was in temps, i was to sick to to anything. horrible anxiety, twitches, hives,nausea..you name it, it was a nightmare i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. i tried the huggins recovery program with all the vitamins...but it made me worse. so i just resorted to multi vitamins, magnesium, calcium<lead free>and vitamin D and some C. i was also battling the candida which came with all of that. so i was on a candida diet.
finally 2 months ago...i got my permanant diamond crown bridges and crowns put in. my nervousness got replaced by horrible TMJ. it was the worst facial, jaw, head, ear pain ever. as of 5 weeks ago i went to dr. gelb<who's supposed to be an expert in this area>and am fitted with a splint. i wear it 24/7. it helps a little, but not much.
for 5 weeks i haven't had the nervousness, but starting yesterday i started experiencing a little..and one or two hives are popping up. the only thing i can think of is that this splint has a tiny piece of metal which holds the plastic together. also i have stopped my candida diet, which also has all the wierd side effects it can give you.
i also still have some brainfog.
let me know what you think.
