Hi all,

I just thought I’d pass on some recent news and basically vent my thoughts .. sorry for the long post.

I had all (3) of my amalgams replaced last week. The good news is that very shortly after I noticed a change in my body temperature. Normally I have very cold hands and feet. This is not much better and I do not need the heaters on so much.

However the bad news is that I ended up getting my fillings replaced unsafely. The dentist was recommended to me by my (ex) ND after I had outlined the safely procedures that I wanted used. So, unwisely, I didn’t ask for further clarification. Anyway, the dentist’s version of safe (just a rubber dam) and mine were vastly different. I went ahead with the procedure as I had already traveled to get there (6 hour round trip) and just wanted it done. To help soak up the mercury I have taken so much Algin of late I think I am going to turn into a seaweed plant! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I was bedridden for several days after the appointment with fatigue and pain, but that isn’t unusual. My health goes though different stages up and down, but the most recently stage has been pretty much in bed for several months now. The good news is that a couple of days ago, I managed to get out of the house for a little bit, 2 days in a row. And I even did an hour and a half of work yesterday. That’s really exciting ! (for me anyway) And I managed to eat a piece of bread without getting increased anxiety the next day (which normally happens).

Once my DMSA arrives I will start a very low dose of DMSA every 4 hours later leading to DMSA/ALA. And I’ll also try to get rid of the candida once and for all.

I am really, really hoping that this makes a difference and it eventually helps my symptoms. If it doesn’t turn out to be mercury related I’m not sure where to go next (I am running out of doctors, specialists and alternative practitioners!) As I am sure you guys can relate when things are bad each day (each hour) is very tough.

Anyways.. my fingers are crossed. Wish me luck !
