a question: diagnosing mercury poisoning

[Guest guest]

hi,

Is it possible to diagnose mercury poisoning just from knowing that

I've had a certain number of amalgam fillings for a certain length of

time?

I had a challenge toxic metal test (using dmps & edta) which showed

slightly elevated mercury (and lead) levels - just outside the normal

range - I think the number was around 11 - but that doesn't seem to

justify the severity of my symptoms, which are mainly unrelenting

extreme fatigue and foggy headedness for 19 years.

My doctor said the levels really aren't that high, he's had people off

the charts, etc.

I can say that i had about 8 amalgam fillings for about 10 years

before my symptoms began (and more after)

Would that history necessarily mean that I would be poisoned enough to

cause my symptoms?

I am asking this because I have finished 4 rounds (50mg. dmsa every

3-4 hours for 3 days) and have felt nothing other than increased fatigue.

thanks for your input,

sean
