I didn't count, but I have about 7 amalgams, all in a few months before this happened. Besides the paralysis, I got extremely tired, very thirsty all the time, my skin was real dry, had to urinate way more often larger amounts, got one tiny bump like sore under my tongue, had small red rash on the top of my right wrist, tingling in my feet, numb areas in my legs etc. Oh, and right before this all started, my lower lip started tingling. I have all my records, and it looked like my white count was slightly elevated, but the doc said nothing, didn't tell me what he checked for either. I had only just started taking fish oil before this. I did go get calcium and a one a day. I love salt, so I probably get enough sodium, the potassium I do not know. About my teeth, they were all cleaned months before this, and I was just going and getting fillings done. The last one the assistant wasn't in there all the time and I remember swallowing alot. Same appointment the old large one was taken out and refilled. TY for your reply. BTW, I react to chemicals, and became very sick years ago from a tub surround installed in our bathroom. I was so sick, for 6 months, I had to quit my job, was dead tired all the time, had horrible muscle aches, and got sick around any odors, sprays, plastics, new furniture etc. It took about 2 years for all these symptoms to go away. I noticed i started reacting again to these things also. Thankyou for your help
