Hi there i'm Lixxy. I'm a 33 year old singer and i have been suffering from acid reflux ever since i had my fillinges put in. I got 8 fillings put in about 7 years ago. My story is that about a week after having the fillings put in i started losing my voice. My shows were suffring and i did not know what to do. I ended up quiting singing cause one doctor told me that my vocal chords were scrap and could never sing again. So instead of slapping him silly i believed him and headed streight for a depression. My depression lasted 3 years, up until i met this vocal coach that sent me to one of the best voice doctors she knew. This doctor finally told me that i was sufering from acid reflux. Hmmm yes this is my fault that i led to believe the other doctor. The thing is that i had read up on silver fillings and acid reflux and just pushed it aside. That was my second mistakes. I can not afford mistakes anymore. I just signed a record contract and my album will be out this spring and i need my voice in top shape. I have been on Nexium for the acid reflux for about 3 years now and want to get off. I am just wondering if i get my fillings replaced will this truely improve my health or am i damaged forever. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Lixxy Lixxy, Sometimes acid reflux can be caused by other physical ailments, such as hiatal hernias. I'm not saying that the amalgams did not cause your problem, but it's only one of many possible causes. It wouldn't hurt to rule out other causes, if you have not already done so. I too suffered from acid reflux for years, but changing my diet and lifestyle is what cured it. It's possible that the amalgams were a contributing factor in my case, but I continued to have my amalgams in well after I was better, with no additional problems. Again, I'm not suggesting that is the case with you, but there can be other causes. The fact that your problems began shortly after your fillings were placed is good circumstancial evidence to support your suspicion though. Good luck, Tom
