Hi!
It has been awhile since I have updated.
I am still seeking answers. I was diagnosed with lymes disease but the test wasn't 100% and I just am having doubts because of such little results of 4 months of antibiotics.
After months and months of reading and research, I am looking into the mercury issue. I have read SO many stories of people with similar symptoms as mine who found relief after getting the mercury fillings out of their mouths. There are also stories of those who didn't find relief, I know mercury isn't going to be the cause of every problem, of course. But what I have discovered is that mercury is not a good thing to have in our mouths. So, I am going to get the fillings replaced, and it will be a dentist who will do it safely and will help me know how to rid the body of the mercury once the fillings are out. The whole process done correctly is really important.
Anyway, I still struggle with dizziness. I have such weird symptoms and for instance, last week, my left foot swelled out of the blue and I couldn't walk on it. Then all of my body lost feeling and my arm/hands and legs/feet had numbness and tingling. Then I had a strong bout of dizziness after bending over to dry my hair. I had to catch the dresser in order not to fall down.
For those of you who are new, my symptoms started July 2003 with severe vertigo in the night, then progressed to stiff neck, imbalance with tinnitus, etc. Then it progressed the following spring into weakness and fatigue. Now my symptoms are head pressure (on and off), always some sense of imbalance, some joint swelling and pain, eye sensitivity, etc.
What I am hoping I can get a poll on is how many of you who are dizzy have silver fillings? I am really curious. It's not a common or popular subject as the *** strongly supports using silver fillings, but it does appear as something we should look into especially as one of the main symptoms of mercury and metal toxicity is dizziness and vertigo.
Another thing I have discovered is how harmful steriods can be. And that is what was given to me at the onset of my dizziness and then again about 6 months later. It's disturbing to say the least to read about the harmful effects of steriods. Seems we create new monsters in our bodies by some drugs that are used to tackle others.
Love to hear from you all!

Even tho' I still struggle, there is much that is better, like the brain fog. The neck pain, less headaches, usually less dizziness (until a few days ago, but still not as debilitating as at first), ability to get out and do more, can have conversations with people face to face without feeling terrible. I have changed my diet to as much organic as possible and taking several supplements I never knew existed before. My diet is much, much better and I know that has helped in alot of ways. Just trying to key in on what is still keeping me down!!!
