wow, this is crazy! did you think you were in early menopause or something? congratulations! you can never predict what the effects of these infections are. i had an infected tooth for quite a while and after i fixed it (opted for a root canal however...), my chronic sore throat disappeared. mercury can affect hormonal balance. i still have my fillings in, and one of the earliest symptoms was low sex drive, virtually none if i have to be honest (at 31), and then my periods have been getting shorter.
