Bex, I really feel for you. The mental symptoms that come with mercury poisoning are beyond description to someone who hasn’t experienced them. Hang in there. I was told 3 years ago by several doctors that I had incurable arthritis and ‘just to live with it’, even though I was mostly bedridden at the time (I am only 31). I have persisted with various things since then and I do feel as though I am moving forward, albeit slowly ... anyway, my point is to keep trying, keep hoping and you will eventually find something that works for you. (PS: are you in NZ? I’m in Australia .. in the same neighbourhood .. sort of!)

LoJ, I found out about the arsenic though a Heavy Metal blood test (my arsenic levels were way out of the reference range). I’ve also recently done a hair analysis and it shows up there too, but within the reference range. I am still not sure where I got the arsenic from, I'm not sure I ever will know. My guess is from drinking unfiltered rainwater from a property that was within a shortish distance from an industrial area.
