Hello it has been a while since i have been on the computer. i was trying to keep my mind on other things, not to consume myself with all of this. It was getting a little too scary. I did see a bio dentist only an hour away. I am very confident in him.I have other issues like 8 cavities, and gingivitis that need to be addressed before amalgam removal.When i went for gingivittis treatment i was having pain in my left upper tooth,which held my largest filling . He took an x- ray and said ok we'll take it out! i was not prepared for this and got very worried. He assured me that every precaution would be taken .Turns out there was a cavity under my amalgam filling! that would explain alot!.I took 500mg v c before and 1 for 3 hours after procedure.Within the next 3 days i felt horrible and my anxiety level was through the roof,crying spells and all.i went to see my accupuncturist. He treated me and i requested a low dose valium,i was overwhelmed at this point, and with 2 small children at home i think i needed something to take the edge off. They are very worried about their mommy.
he said that would be fine and also gave me a supplement to take called 5 htp 50 mg for low seretonnin levels. i have taken it for 3 nights now and other than waking up with dry mouth and throat,Im tolerating it well.In the next 4 weeks i will be having a root canal done 8 cavities filled and last,but certainly not least my last 3 fillings removed.
I just want to say Thank You to all who participate in this forum.I have gotten alot of questions answered and an unexpected feeling of community. To know that when i am at my worst ,or feeling that the people close to me just don't understand all of this ,or don't know what to say or how to help me ,I can come on here and know that i am not alone in this fight! It is a fight, a fight for your life and for mine and for people who haven't even discovered that this is whats making them ill. I pray for every one of you every day that you keep pressing on and know that one day, no matter how close, or how far it may be, you will be well again!!!!!
