Hair test results---Dana B

[Guest guest]

Hi all-

Following are the results of my hair test (this was done in 2004 - symptoms

are worse now than then). Though they don't quite match the counting rules,

I'd appreciate any comments. I'm guessing the test might look a lot worse,

but I take a lot of supplements and have for almost 20 years. My most

obvious symptoms are chronic fatigue, depression/lack of motivation, brain

fog, exercise intolerance, migraines, food intolerances (get migraines from

corn, chocolate, all nuts, many herbs, soy) - those are the main ones. I

also have a positive Lyme test, but at this point I don't think Lyme is my

main problem.

I've had the worst of the symptoms for nearly 20 years, and when they began

I had had several amalgams replaced with more amalgam (didn't know better at

the time), had some severe stress in my life, and was bitten by a tick. I've

also had a " mouth full " of amalgams since my early teens and undoubtedly had

some before that. I had my amalgams removed and replaced with some sort of

composite in 1997, though the dentist missed one tiny one (I discovered it

was still there a couple of years ago). My worsening symptoms started around

1998, but I have had less intense health problems since childhood.

Thanks so much,

Dana B
