Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi, I typed about this a while back when I had one side of my mouth replaced with porcelain last year. I do not have amalgams, but my composites were old and required replacing. I felt, after the first visit last year, worse and pretty ill and was reluctant to go again. To me it just felt like I had breathed a load of mercury vapor into myself (yet I don't have amalgams). The effects were pretty bad, but I felt I would be ok as time wore on. So I went to the next appointment to finish the other side of the mouth. This was late December last year and since that time (two months), my health has totally and utterly plummeted. I have stuck to an excellent strict healthy diet during all this time to no avail. My symptoms are the following: I have pain and stiffness throughout my body. I have ongoing abdominal cramps that don't let up and cannot stand or walk for long (this is not abnormal, I have a problem there anyway, but it is now worse). I have a feeling of chest tightness/restriction and have been getting wheezing in the lungs. I am utterly exhausted/drugged. My depression has gotten so much worse I can hardly cope. I have lost all interest and motivation and I am all but bedridden. I just barely function and find myself sitting or lying down. I cannot exercise, I break down in tears when I try because there is absolutely zero energy or strength. I can sense and taste metal and feel it sometimes trying to push out. Now, I wasn't great to start with but this has devastated me. Last visit was bad enough, this was obviously the clincher. I cannot make headway and cannot afford chelation. I might be able to get ALA and wondered if I'd get away with this? I cannot stand much more of what I'm suffering and this is part of the reason why I got cerec porcelain dental materials so I'd not have to go back to a dentist again. THis is the story of my life. One visit and I " m FINISHED. But this time I think has been the worst. Everyday I wake up and hope I'll feel better and I don't. At times I feel my body's attempt at excreting something, I can feel toxic metal. I even taste it and sometimes cry a bit and my eyes can sting with it. It is not the porcelain in case anybody is wondering, similar happens to me from just walking into a dental office, even for consultation. But I guess this time it was just double the burden and I'm down for the count. I have even had to get tests for hormones to try and get support for that. I'm on excellent supplements - A quality vitamin/mineral base powder, vitamin E, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, fish oil (mercury free), milk thistle etc. What the heck do I do? It's been two months and this has become chronic. People are trying to help me making suggestions and I try, but frankly nothing is really working so far. I cannot go back into a dental office again, this is almost ruining my life. I cannot even go in for a routine check up or clean. I've proven that. Sorry to go on, I just feel desperate and angry and regret going at all, yet at the sametime, my existing materials would have required replacement at some point soon anyway. Again, it's been two months, am I a candidate for ALA? Please help. Thanks for listening to my rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
