Since being a teenager, I had terribly itchy eyes. It was unbearable and I would rub my eyes all the time and even developed a reputation among my friends; Them, often saying, be careful (itching your eyes), you're gonna' pop 'em out.

When my amalgam fillings were removed in July 2000, my eyes stopped itching entirely. In fact, I completely forgot that this symptom existed before the removal until recently. (see, my memory's coming back <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
