Re: Scary visual symptoms- Mercury poisoning or MS?

[Guest guest]

I had bizarre vision problems that arose AFTER my fillings were taken out but

BEFORE I started chelating, and they continued even through the beginning of

chelation. I had a black spot that looked like a fly that would appear

sometimes (so real that I would try to swat it the first few times!). On rare

occasions my eyes would feel like they were shaking or twitching. Additionally,

I developed severe light sensitivity-- I needed to wear sunglasses for driving

even when it was cloudy and raining. I also found that the fluorescent lighting

(which supposedly contains mercury?) at my job made me feel dizzy to the point

where I almost fainted. This dizziness has gotten much better, but I still feel

strange around the lights. Still, chelation has assisted me in ending most of

these visual disturbances.

Have you had your fillings out?

Are you chelating now?

I've experienced all of them, and they were present to ever increasing degrees

long before amalgam removal. Random, uncontrolled eyelid twitching stopped

immediately after amalgam removal, and I was soon much less sensitive to light

to the point of going without sunglasses. Before amalgam removal, I also had

occasional, short, odd " flutter " spells where my eyes seemed to be darting back

& forth, sideways, for a split second. It was disorienting & annoying. A lot

of mysterious things like this disappeared right after amalgam removal,

including a blocked off eustacian tube that had affected hearing &

comprehension. Foot & hand coordination, or appropriate response to intended

movement, came back right away, but on rare occasions there have been slight

lapses where I trip or drop something. Same is true with memory.

I still lose ability to focus with both eyes as they grow tired reading, and

at night have had to read with one eye closed for years. There's a really odd

quivering sensation when I'm losing focus, and it's mostly involved in close-up

focus. I recently could not adjust to graduated bifocals & couldn't hope to

maintain focus through such a small lense space. They created lots of head

spinning/disequilibrium, too, which my optometrist said was unusual. I assume

this is something to do with eye muscles? The light sensitivity is worse again

since starting DMSA, but there isn't much of anything else as far as negative

symptoms and I'm more energetic on it and feel lighter as of 4 rounds.

Our black spots are called floaters. They've been explained to me but I don't

recall that well enough to explain it. Sometimes they can be a sign of a

detaching retina, so it's a good thing to let a doctor or eye doctor know about

it when you're in.

Another thing I have is a really slowed ability to get 'the flash' out of my

eyes after photos. Picture sessions at my daughter's wedding last summer were

hard to do.

I also wear contact lenses, although during chelation I wear my

glasses much more often. Is there any connection between contacts and

mercury-related eye problems? None of my contact lense products

contain thimerosal-- I checked in the ingredients. Could it be listed

as something else?

Before my fillings were removed I had lost my peripheral vision, my

vision was dim and fuzzy and I could not stand light!!

After removal...I regained my peripheral vision and

clarity..brighter colors, sharper vision.

The light senstivity went away with adrenal treatment. Mercury

causes adrenal insufficiency and this causes photosensitivity.

MS and mercury poisoning are kind of one in the same. Mercury is

likely your culprit as it like the eyes!

I didn't and had eye problems. But I know the for those who did, some

of the opthamalic solutions used by contact wearers contained a

preservative called thimerosal (mercury) up until recently. This would

have given them a direct eye source of Hg.

>I'm new to this group, but the main reason I got interested in mercury

was my eyes. I had lasik and the correction was successful for 8 years,

then I had 2 large fillings removed with no precautions at all and I

rapidly developed a correction of .75 and .50 with .25 of astigmatism

in both.and my vision became dim also. I felt I had been exposed to a

large dose of mercury when he drilled them out, which I thought had

causesd my sudden visual disturbance. Since lasik also has it's own

issues, I don't know, but I feel that colors aren't as bright. I have

since had the rest removed more safely and will do chelation asap.

Another little tidbit of info, I overheard this at a Naturopathic

clinic, I heard the man who works there telling somebody about a lady

who had become blind as a result of mercury and she had a colonic there

every day for a year and got her vision back. (I'm not sure that's a

good idea, I'm surprised it didn't cause other problems). I was

thinking that I had read somewhere that sometimes people who do all the

right things can't get rid of the mercury symptoms because it is lodged

in the intestinal pockets and bowel management would be the only way to

remove this.

Another thought along that line, I wonder if you are known to be

allergic to thimerosol (which I was, I always had to use a special

method of disinfecting my lenses because my eyes couldn't tolerate it)

does that mean you are more sensitive to mercury in your system?

The eye " flutter " spells were probably nystigmus.

A few years before amalgam removal, I developed aches in my eyes. That

developed into momentary jabbing pains, flashing lights, and floaters.

About 98% of that went away immediately after amalgam removal, and the

incidence of those problems keeps declining.
