Hi! Here is the fun I am dealing with smile
Long term chronic mercury exposer
Mercury induced anemia
Elevated Toxic calcium levels
Elevated Toxic Magnesium
Elevated sodium and potassium
low copper
Elevated toxic zinc
Low toxic levels of selenium and molybdenum
Elevated Toxic levels of Colblat
...basically I am either toxic elevated or toxic deff in just about ever mineral
I am off the chart with - Barium, Bismuth, Zirconium, tin, and strontium

as of the metals:
alarming toxic levels of Beryllium
Toxic levels of Aluminum
Arsenic, Cadmium and lead

I have suppressed/decreased adrenal functions - extremely low levels of cortisol, dopamine and serotonin...basically my body is not making any cortisol. Crazy though, I am not "depressed" by any means. My "brian" is smile
Hypothyroid
Chronic Autoimmune System disorder - this finding was first found in the extremely low levels of histamine. Normal range is 17-24 and I am 5.1

My doctor asked how do I get up and function? I said...determination and Jesus! Most people have no idea the magnitude of how ill I am. heck, I kinda of didn't. When you suffer with such debilitating pain and fatigue you do what ever it takes to survive! You fight to have a life!

So here is where I need help....

I just started oral chelation, along with minerals that were designed based on what my particular body is in need of. I have seen a specialist in neuroscience, who after working with me for several months, suspected heavy metals have been the root of all my 7 years of hell. I am being seen by a leading ND in my area for the heavy metals and mineral. I have had what I call "beyond" CFS for 7 years, that involves stage 4 endometriosis and black mold exposure! YUK! In 2010 I almost died, and thanks to National Institute Of Health, and an 8 hour surgery to reconstruct damage to my GI, I am still here fighting! So, finding out about heavy metal poisoning is a HUGE answer to my prayers. The one we all want answered...why am I so sick???

I was told, seeing the DR when I did, saved my life...again smile I am so thankful that I was referred to the ND to help with my chelation, but I sadly feel as if I am not getting the direction and information I need. Since I have found out, I have armed myself with COUNTLESS HOURS of research. Yet, I need personal experience information. My doctor just said, "my patients do not get sick while going through chelation." If that is true, then they must have been in pretty good shape to start. I have done many detoxes in my past, and know that ANY detox will make you have uncomfortable symptoms.

So here is where my question comes in...when is a symptom "just" a symptom, and when should I be concerned?

I had ll my silver fillings out - all 12! The half were all done in the month of March/beginning of april. I was do to start my oral chelation, along with all the minerals, the monday after my last dentist appointment. Not for that reason, my pills did not come in until then, and do to insurance, I needed to have the fillings out by a certain date. And by the way, NO ONE told me about the dangers of having them out!!!! So I have been suffering!!! My dentist appointment was on a thursday, and Saturday I had to go to the ER because I thought someone was ripping my kidney out of my back frown Of corse, the ER doc told me I was a perfect bill of health...based on "blood" work. Typical for me.

My metal dr never got back with me...after she is the one who told me to have my kidney's checked...so I went ahead and started. Let me add, prior to this I have been SICK!!! And I couldn't wait another month for my immune system to start deciding to release energy.

I feel crappy...very crappy. Is this expected?
I have NO energy
My urine smells
A few days ago my back and down the front of my leg hurt so bad I laid in bed and cried. It still hurts but the pain has eased up.
My face is breaking out
Did I say how fatigued I am???
My lymph nodes in my throat are swollen
Very typical "detox" symptoms multiplied by 20x

I have read many places about kidney, liver, and GI function so I am concerned.

Along with the daily oral chelation, I do 45min of Infrared sauna...HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is the only thing that has given me at least 2 hours of some energy.

Is there a thread I can go to help with starting the chelation process? I feel I am on my own, and need help from somewhere.

I am a mid 30's female. I was in extreme physical fitness, and honestly, even though I feel sluggish and out of shape, I am still above average. I used to run 3+ miles a day until i became suddenly VERY ill 7 years ago. I have run several marathons, and miss running. As I am sure many go through the same as me, I have "periods" of somewhat normal health and energy. During those times, I work out 5-7 days a week. I eat very health, and eat THE SAME things everyday due to AWFUL food allergies to everything - those just started 4 years ago. I am an avid juicer. Must doctors write me off because I don't "look" sick. But for me, I do frown I finally found a doctor that notably takes that into consideration, and for the first time looked past what everyone else labels as the "cookie cutter" way a sick person should look, VERY FRUSTRATING! Trying to take excellent care of my body has allowed most doctors to write me off. I was a gymnast, and athlete my whole life so I have always had a high level of fitness ability an flexibility. Therefore, my usability to have full range of motion, is not going to be the same as someone else. Sadly, this makes me less accountable with most doctors frown

When I doctor tells me to touch my toes, I can go all the way to the floor with no problem...I have done it since I was 5. Even when extremely dizzy, I can still stand and balance on one foot. I have learned to adapt and survive through fatigue and imbalances.

Just needed a little ranting...thanks smile
