Valentina,

Long before I knew exactly what was wrong with my daughter she would

sometimes complain that there were strange feelings inside her legs or arm

that made her want to hit it to make it stop and once she even said she

wanted to stick something sharp into her leg to make it stop. She never had

a rash at that time tho. Interesting. She hasn't had any problems with

these feelings since chelation started.

Yes Sondra, my daughter also used to say that alot. She said it sometimes

felt like prickly, crawling, tingly feelings. This would be in her hips,

butt and legs and sometimes in her shoulder-spine area. Doctors I asked

about this just shrugged it off too. My daughter has not had these happen

since we started using ALA to chelate either. I am sorry your sister wont

consider mercury causing her problems. Maybe if she sees you and your

children become healthy she will then think about this for herself.

I had lots of different allergies in my life, but I can tell that once you

have a " mercury rash " one you can never forget it It is different. The

spots are bigger and they go dipper into the skin, I mean they are not just

at the surface, on the skin. And the itch is more aggresive and... it's

difficult to explain but it feels like the itch is not just at the surface,

on the skin. It's like it comes from the bone under the itch. (I remember I

wanted to take something sharp and just stick it into my leg, or arm,

wherever the itch was. Good that I didn't do it LOL).

Michele I to be to have same thing to be in me at times. It to be a very odd

feeling deep inside of my legs and arms sometimes in the joints but most in

the muscles so not sure what this to be. My sister who is not dx but has

many things similar to spectrum is severe OCD and has bad habits of picking

her skin open and has much large sores and open wounds as well as scars that

are from the after math and has done this since a young child. She to say

she to be to feel things are crawling under her skin. No doctor has been to

help her yet and she to be older than me to be . She is dx as major

depressive disorder with severe OCD. She to have issues with iron since

little and was much severe anemic so the mother to had to pump much iron

into her daily, she to have failure to thrive for much long time, severe

sinus issues to where she to lose her sense of smell completely, yet she to

refuse to be to get any help or believe any mercury to be in her systems.

I think I know exactly what you're talking about... I remember when I was a

child (that was the time when I had lots of these rashes) I knew when they are

coming because I had this sensation that you're talking about, a week or so

before the red spots.

Just to understand how bad the itch was, I was scratching so bad that even now,

after 20 years, I still have some scars on my legs.

Glad to hear your daughter is doing well now
