mercury removed...not enough info...now what?

[nicema]

Very unfortunatelly I didn't know any better when I had all my amalgam fillings removed last years, without any special procedures. Ds was 2 bfing. Now, an year later I found all this information about mercury in the organs, in the blood, possible passed it to ds.... How do I know if still in our bodies? What are the symptoms that I should be looking for to find out if we are contaminated by mercury? How dangerous can it be? PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!

First of all I know exactly how you feel.

Some symptoms of mercury poisoning in your DS might be anywhere from a language delay ranging all the way to autism. There's a bunch more you could have: Digestive problems. Rheumatoid Arthritis. Fibromyalgia. Anxiety. Depression.

Read my posts in this thread and see links for hair testing information.

I'm currently waiting for our hair tests to come back and I'm scared to death to tell you the truth.

My DS and I have battled digestive problems. He has always had serious problems calming down for sleep and with night waking. Also has some sensory integration disorder traits.

Thanks so much JaneS!!! I am so scared, too, and will definetely order the hair test tomorrow for ds and myself. I hope all is well with you and that your test comes out ok. Please keep me posted! I will keep researching for eventual treatment.
