Hello All,

I posted a while back when i was very sick with mercury poisoning.

Since then I have had all fillings replaced with composite by a holistic dentist. Overall I have recovered well and have got my life back to normality again.

One of the things that has remained is the side aches and pains that seem to show up now and again. Over the Christmas period I have been indulging a bit more in food and alcohol (not excessive) but I have definitely noticed more constant aches lasting more than a couple of days now. In light of this scare i will be stopping alcohol and eating a more kidney friendly diet.

I believe this is kidney related although doctors are saying all my tests look ok. (I will get repeat tests in Feb).

I have searched the forums but I dont hear of many other people with these pains or any complications to the kidneys - this is surprising as the kidneys are one of the most sensitive organs to mercury poisoning.

I would really like to hear from people who have any similiar problems and if they have gotten better/worse as time goes by, or if there are any ways to slow down any progressive damage that could be happening.
