was, Re: EDTA and DMPS now: information & tromped feelings

[Guest guest]

First, apologies, am jumping in here - just started skimming posts and

playing catch-up...

Just wanted to add that one of the not so nifty side effects of mercury

poisoning (and other such related things) is the tendency to take some

comments " the wrong way. " (Whether it is board related, or not) And,

quite often, after calming down, going back & rereading, (ahem, big

sigh - for myself) realizing that the comment was NOT intended, as it

was Perceived by me...

huge sigh - it is a skill I have honed well over the past 20-ish years,

having learned all too well, while rather youngish, that I do have this

not so fun tendency. I have learned to " bide my time " and revisit

things that were (felt) initially hurtful...I see it often here and

empathise ALOT...

For me, I do know that addressing all these toxic type of issues, with

mercury being a huge one, has made a huge difference.... " normal for me "

turns out to be, ummm, NOT quite so normal for me. Btw, that, in and

of itself, can make me very very angry at times. Not quite so often

lately, but still so not a cool thing, imho...Life is soooo much better

when a large part of it is not spent coping with this type of

tendency...

and, for me, is a wholly unexpected bonus. You see, I used to think of

this tendency as completely " normal for me. " Just part and parcel of

being my own self. It is sooo not, and I DO love that.

My kids. I started with my migraine girl, ending up with answers for

my other kids too, and then for myself, to boot. For my kids, I cannot

convey how grateful I am that this has also impacted them to a similar

extreme (as it has for me). That they will not spend 20 plus

years " coping. " They are working on thriving and prospering.

....and that is beyond good. Beyond words. Beyond gratitude. ...The

information here HAS been, continues to be, invaluable and is more than

worth the effort of going thru archives & posts & onibasu & whatever

works for your own self, to find the answers that work for you

(me ...and, for me, (big sigh) more than worth working thru the

harder moments, when things seem or feel hurtful....

Gratefully, still....

Wishing all the very best answers
