Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Citrus Punch I asked this question before but don't remember any responses. Mercury is known for making us irritable. I must say that is an understatement for me ever since my poisoning. In " AI " Andy says to count irritability as a symptom " twice " . I'd like to know why. How specifically does mercury make us so irritable? Is it the hormonal imbalances or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely one of my symptoms, ask my husband. Before I knew anything about mercury poisoning, I had a lot of " valid " reasons why I felt irritable. Job, marriage, kids, stress, etc. 26 rounds into chelation and it is one of the first things I noticed---wow, I feel less irritated. Same job, same marriage, same kids, same stress. I don't know how to explain it, but it's a little creepy to me. I mean, I was SO sure I had reason to be irritated. It's weird. in Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I've always suspected my mouthfull of fillings (16 -removed 10 years ago) as being the cause of my irritability. When I was 18 (after a bunch of new fillings were placed), I developed epilepsy. I only had 1 seizure, but my brainwaves were real wacky, according to the doctor. And to this day, I am still quite irritated by certain types of repetitive noises or flashing lights. I built a bedroom in my basement to avoid the neighbors' barking dogs and the constant summer fireworks. It would be interesting to have another EEG after I'm done chelating.. -m --------------------------------- Yahoo! Groups gets better. Check out the new email design. Plus there’s much more to come.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I'm not clear what metabolic or nuerologic factors were involved with my irritability with amalgam sickness. I do know that the struggle to get through a day, or think through an issue often felt overwhelming. I dealt with this by trying to humor myself and those around me. There were times, however, when my fuse was very short when asked to do other people's thinking, or other peoples jobs. Getting through my day was hard enough. With a total dental revision, and 10 rounds of chelation behind me, I'm starting to feel empathy and understanding in a way that I have not in some time, and my problem solving skills are getting much better. Even shortly after my dental revision, at a consciouss level I kept thinking: " I can breathe without each breath making me more ill. " I'm pretty sure that I began to breathe easier, relax, and focus for much more profound chemical / metabolic reasons than just that awareness. I do still have moments of irritability, particularly when coming off a chelation round that now includes ALA. A little lingering redistribution... and a real awareness of how long this profound medical tragedy, the placement of mercury in me, has influenced how I interact with the world. Oh, one postscript. I no longer experience any numbness or tingling in my limbs. Yes, I was diagnosed with MS in 1994. Tell your allopathic practitioners that I'm getting better. Just one more anecdote that they can ignore. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think that this is one of the most damaging symptoms of mercury toxicity. It can make you try to find things wrong with everything before you would imagine that it might be you! I also think that it brings out many other negative qualities such as insecurity and self esteem. My feeling about the reason for the irritability is that it has an affinity for ganglionic fiber of the nervous system and therefore creates issues in the brain and spinal cord. Voila! Problems with the entire nervous system. I cannot wait for these symptoms to go away completely. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Same here, my relationships/friendships have suffered, sometimes I feel I could just fall out with everyone and I feel I can't bear to be around people sometimes so its lucky I live on my own, though that has its drawbacks too. I am ultra sensitive at times, irritable and intolerant and my self-esteem is affected, though having had therapy in the past I feel this has helped me cope to an extent. The explanation about the nervous system totally makes sense. the fact that you get angry means you still have some self- esteem in tact! Anger is a great antidote to depression and low self- esteem. I find it really keeps me going at times. Anne > > , > > This is exactly what it's done to me. I've lost all my self esteem and self worth and I am SO insecure, and I was always the complete opposite before this. My beau of 11 years says that my personality has actually changed. I am very sensitive and especially to any criticism, yet I am so critical of everyone and everything around me. How dare these dentists to this to us. They take our very core and destroy it as far as I am concerned. > > > Re: mercury and irritability > > > I think that this is one of the most damaging symptoms of mercury toxicity.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I hope it works and you get your quality of life back, Anne > > Anne, > > If you recall, I've been diagnosed with HGH deficiency. I've done a lot of research now on this subject and find that it has answered a lot of my questions about what is going on with me. First of all, it causes irritability and agitation which is interesting because I have been this way now for a long time. According to my research, this is because HGH deficiency will cause dopamine to be elevated. My alternative MD did tests last year that showed my dopamine to be elevated. Interestingly, Andy Cutler says in his book that dopamine is elevated with mercury poisoning. Apparently, after HGH injections all of this clears up and feelings of emotional well being return. I sure hope so, because I need some relief from this. I used to be a very very social butterfly and now all I do is isolate and am too irritable to deal with anyone so I just stay away. I am also very moody and my moods swing from depression to agitation to anger and to crying for no reason. I always seem to be able to justify my behavior, especially when I'm dealing with my boyfriend and I feel that my behavior and feelings are justified, and then I go back to Andy's book and read the description of the mercury poisoned person and realize that this is exactly how I am feeling and behaving. I can't wait to get those injections and feel semi-human again. I noticed that I don't even pray anymore, not consciously, and for a while I didn't even realize it, but now I do realize that I stopped praying about a year ago which was also always a large part of my everyday life. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Inge and , It makes me so sad to hear about this! Of course, part of the sadness is my own pathetic situation. I keep hitting the wall over and over and pushing that wall further and further back. When I first knew that I was chemically poisoned I became an activist for political change. Now, I am very active locally in an alternative party. But now, even that seems too difficult at times. The current administration is trying to make the poisoners less and less accountable. But the truth is, someone should be responsible and somebody has to pay for my being disabled!! It has occurred to me to start a support group and try to organize others along with me to take some action locally. Right now SSD says that I am not really disabled but I can do another job. It doesn't really help that there is no test for Hg in the brain----or is there? If it wasn't for discovering this group I would probably be more of a vegetable. Sometimes I think that it would be better if I was. --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Yahoo! Small Business.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi , You might want to join the Yahoo group: EOHarm, based on the book Evidence of Harm by Kirby. It is mainly parents of children with mercury poisoning who are trying to do various kinds of political actions. W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
