Greetings,

I have had a number of non-specific symptoms that simply do not lead to any particular medical diagnosis. I've been to GPs, neurologists, and even oncologist/hematologist, but no one seems to be able to point to anything specific. The symptoms include, in order of importance: fatigue, lack of concentration, poor memory, exercise intolerance, sensitivity to light, occasional mouth sores, and did I mention fatigue? In addition, I have an abnormally low white blood count, and I've read that mercury poisoning will actually raise the WBC in order to combat the mercury presence.

I realize these symptoms could be traced to dozens of diseases, but what caught my eye about the mercury bit is that I went through a very severe phase which coincides with two new amalgam fillings I had put in. Again, this could just be coincidence, but it's worth checking out. In addition, my symptoms are very cyclical. I can almost time it to the day - I go through "down" periods every 6 weeks where I experience a week of overwhelming fatigue, malaise, and I hesitate to use the word depression, but lack of motivation is perhaps a better term. Simply put, I just don't have much energy these days, and I've got a mouthful of amalgan fillings.

Are my symptoms out of the ball park for mercury poisoning, and if not, what is the most reliable method of testing. Thanks very much.

Tom
