I CANT WAIT FOR THE 19th!! (when i get my fillings removed) how do i know this is even mercury? because no other condition has my symptoms. and there's the constant ringing in my ears and the noise in my head. i have been on every antianything for all mental disorders. its just getting worse. yes ive been to the eye doctor, the ear doctor, the doctor doctor, the it's in your head doctor, the it's what you are eating doctor, the it's your brain waves doctor, and a several pointless church excursions. please somebody help me im scared i have to make it to the 19th but the roads are bad, i can't concentrate (on LOTS of add meds) and yes i do wear my glasses and the same effect is there. i described it the best i can. please help me before i lash out at someone at work and get fired or sent to jail.

Replies murphy mcbagel Posted at 8:01 pm on Jan. 13, 2009 that's horrible! but i don't have any symptoms of acute poisoning (tremors, heart attack, death) but chronic mercury poisoning. Bacon Posted at 11:33 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 If the only explanation is mercury poisoning, then it probably is mercury poisoning. Get those fillings out immediately. "On August 14, 1996, Karen Wetterhahn, a chemistry professor working at Dartmouth College, spilled a small amount of dimethylmercury on her latex glove. She began experiencing the symptoms of mercury poisoning five months later and, despite aggressive chelation therapy, died a few months later from brain malfunction due to mercury intoxication."

Probably not but stress can do that- and you sound stressed! murphy mcbagel Posted at 9:04 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 but even if im losing my eyesight it wouldn't cause mental problems like forgetting shit all the time would it? twilightfreak Posted at 8:45 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 i really dont know i wish i could help have u tried discoveryhealth.com u can llike type in ur symptoms and somthing will come up Al Legator Posted at 8:39 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Hmmm, off the meds eh? I've had no experience with the symptoms you describe except the tinnitus. I also assume you've been checked for glaucoma. The sahdows in front of yoru vision sound like 'floaters' though usually they aren't so pronounced. Nothing can be done about those and they are quite common. But perhaps an eye specialist and/or goiing to an optometry teaching facility (school or hospital) might be the next step, since you've eliminated drug interaction. odd Posted at 8:36 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Quote: from murphy mcbagel at 8:27 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Quote: from odd at 8:25 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 if you're up for it, you could try a naturopathic physician. i've been on many anti's, and i've found that they're a bit more helpful.    also, my guess is that this is probably manifesting from the meds you're taking. could it be a side effect? the thing is he'll put me on all sorts of herbs and vitamins i've already tried. i went to this one lady who did something called muscle testing and it was so wack. what vision problem were you talking about? i need to know. it's bad. i'm sorry, i was vague. no vision problems, but other problems. i think i've only found myself liking some of those doctors because they are open-minded. they seem to treat the patients as people and not as masses of problems. but yeah, unfortunately a lot of it seems to be a load of crap. good luck. missarissa Posted at 8:34 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 i would guess the medicines are interacting bad, or that you are getting an allergic reaction to something in one of them, like something real medical that oyu didnt know you had before now *~ ~* murphy mcbagel Posted at 8:34 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 what would they say that i haven't already tried or researched? i mean honestly you people have no idea how much im on the internet looking for answers, and they keep pointing to something in my mouth (mercury! candida overgrowth). Mikayla007 Posted at 8:32 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 see a doc murphy mcbagel Posted at 8:30 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 yeah i had an eeg and mri last year it would of shown. but im NOT on any of the meds anymore. but i regret it because now im overly emotional about everything, which would be fine if i didn't have the scary eye things. the eye doctor said i don't have any cataracks or abnormalities! jesus what then?! can someone legimitly go crazy after 19 years of being alive? Al Legator Posted at 8:27 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Ouch! That sounds like hell.  My best guess- only a guess of course - is that maybe all the meds are interactign with each other. I had a friend who was on a truckload of them and needed a specilist to get her off the 2 dozen meds she was on and back to 3 or 4. Maybe you could ask your doctor about that. I doubt the mercury in the amalgam fillings is causing such symptoms or I'd be having them too. I don't want to scare you unnecessarily but have you been checked for a brain tumour? murphy mcbagel Posted at 8:27 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Quote: from odd at 8:25 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 if you're up for it, you could try a naturopathic physician. i've been on many anti's, and i've found that they're a bit more helpful. also, my guess is that this is probably manifesting from the meds you're taking. could it be a side effect? the thing is he'll put me on all sorts of herbs and vitamins i've already tried. i went to this one lady who did something called muscle testing and it was so wack. what vision problem were you talking about? i need to know. it's bad. odd Posted at 8:25 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 if you're up for it, you could try a naturopathic physician. i've been on many anti's, and i've found that they're a bit more helpful. also, my guess is that this is probably manifesting from the meds you're taking. could it be a side effect?
