Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site and from the UK. Had my mercury fillings removed 6 weeks ago (last one 2 weeks ago) have been feeling ill for neally 2 years and have forgotten what it feels like to be well. I have a very supportive boyfriend who has been both understanding and extremely patient but like me has been confused and angry by the symptoms that mercury has caused. I used to tell my friends and family what I was experiencing and how I felt but mostly keep quiet about it now as I get really paranoid and sometimes angry about the lack of interest, blank stares and silence. ( It's like hitting your head against a brick wall!!) And don't get me started on my mother who thinks I'm a total hypochondriac!
I too would love to get away from the rest of the human race, (a nice tropical island where it's hot and sunny would be nice!) and be around people that understand what I'm going through. I've also not met anyone who has mercury poisoning which makes me feel isolated and alone. That's why this forum is great and a real life saver.
We must keep our sense of humour though and realize that there is light at the end of the tunnel. We will come out the other side stronger and wiser.
Best wishes,
Lucy
