Oh yes, and its got worse since i had my fillings out. For example, i was putting up a picture and the picture wire left black stains on my fingers, so i scrubbed and scrubbed my hands until it was gone, but i still worried incase it had gone through my skin. It sounds silly but i am paranoid of wearing earings, even real gold just incase it affects me, there are lots of other things aswell but i cant think of them, i think its because i am so ill i dont want to get worse. I take Algin, it absorbes metals so that makes me feel like im protected in a way.
