Mine is more of a question - about 2 months ago I was convinced by my sister to try some colloidial minerals (these contain 72 minerals) after about 3 days taking these I started getting pains in my hands and feet, which continued and by the end of the day my muscles would be so tense I wanted to screem. I stopped taking these after about 3 weeks. Then a week later I started getting sensations in my left foot and left hand. This then progressed into pains and muscle spasms that spread all over my legs and arms. I also got a lot of lower back pain, and blurred vision. I was told that I needed to be checked for MS and eventually after a month of waiting (Incredibly concerned as I'm a female 40 years old) I had an MRI on my brain and spinal cord and was told by the neurologist that there was nothing wrong and that it was extreme anxiety. I still felt very rough and didn't seem to be getting better - about a week after that I went to my sisters doctor and he asked to if I had thought about copper poisoning - I had a copper IUD fitted - which we then removed and I started feeling better. I googled my symptoms and it came up with amalgam poisoning. I had five amalgams removed from my right side and experienced servere burning on the soles of my feet which has only just gone away in the past week (that was three weeks ago) But I am left now with a slight lazy finger on my left side and the same with one of my toes on the left side. What do you think??? My husband thinks I'm mad I forgot to mention I have/had around 11 amalgams as well as the metal backed crowns in my mouth. Some of the amalgams have been there for 25 years and I remember the dentist saying when I had them put in that I had a lot of saliva in my mouth.
