My daughter was also born 1999. I am mercury toxic, have chronic fatigue, and am currently having my fillings removed. I had dental work done (unavoidably) while I was pregnant with her, and while the dentist took extra precautions, it is inevitable that she got a dose of vapour. She was the largest of my babies, cried alot, but is developmentally fine. Emotionally, she is all over the place. The slightest thing will reduce her to tears, she has lots of tantrums. Physically, she is a little chubby and clumsy, has cherubic 'baby' features, very dry skin, and low morning basal temperatures. All these are signs of hypothyroidism. The emotional lability is the most tiring, for me anyway. Anything, even being sprayed accidentally with water, can cause a meltdown.

My theory is that the mercury from the dental work in vitro attacked her thyroid, and she is hypothyroid. I will be having her tested to check this out. Kids need the correct balance of T4 / T3 for their brain to grow. I look at all my children, and, knowing what I do now, wonder what their mercury load is, but as none of them show any signs of actual development delay, or disruptive behavior, I am not going to chelate them. They certainly won't be getting any mercury fillings, nor any further vaccinations, but I wouldn't be surprised if I have to treat my daughter for hypothyroidism. There is an epidemic of hypothyroid kids growing up - their thyroids have been affected by mercury fillings, fluoride in the water, soya products (I have taken my daughter off all soya products - these have some thyroid hormone blocking action). Have a look at this link for more info.

I wonder if this might shed some light on your son.
