Pain and fatigue

[Guest guest]

Before I removed my amalgams I had the biggest long term pain problem

mostly resolved. After removing amalgams I have had one sort of

inflammation problem after another - Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow

[i don't play tennis], colon inflammation, and now calcified

tendonitis in my shoulder [which has been very long term but I'm

having an acute flare up] and pain in my leg muscles.

I can barely move in the morning. It hurts to get up out of chairs

and to do things. If I do much my back starts aching again. I am not

the inactive type - I get frustrated quick when I have to limit

activities.

I think I have been doing what I am supposed to be doing, supplements

and all, but I am a bit stumped.

I also have big time fatigue. My maintenance dose of cortef is 30 mg,

I often have to take more for stress dosing, and it doesn't matter how

much I take I am exhausted at around suppertime. I have been known to

accidently take 20 mg at midnight and sleep like a baby [except the

shoulder is waking me up now].

Previously chelation with DMPS every 6 h seemed to help with the pain

and add to the fatigue. I was on a break for a couple of months and

then tried DMPS every 8 h and it just seemed to make everything worse.

I'm psyching myself up to try every 6 h again, I guess.

I am taking pain medications and it seems the more I take the more I want.

Anyone have any ideas of what I am missing.
