Heavy metals?

[Ericamo1]

I'm starting to wonder if my job is having anything to do with the symptoms that I'm having. Doctors still cant give me an answer as to why I feel like this. My symptoms are face tingling and almost numbness feeling my face twitches now on and off when I open my mouth it feels almost shocking feeling but doesn't hurt. My hands and feet tingle and will go numb but it's on and off. I have daily headaches full ones sometimes sharp pains. I have all over body twitches and sometimes my hands and feet will tremble...again this is on and off. My lips feel like they are numb most of the time. I've had 3 brain mris neck ct, chest xray all to which have back back normal. I started feeling like this gradually over the past year and a half...I feel like I get worse everyday and this is when I switched jobs and I work with heavy metals all day. Can this be the cause of my symptoms? I've mentioned it to my dr and he blew me off.

Your doctors don't know - but as your metals are higher than normal then it would seem your job change may have had an effect. Aluminium is one of the highest metals found in blood but cadmium, lead, and mercury are increasingly found due to fishing in industrial waters. There are articles and methods of removing the metals rom the body. You can buy supplements online which might help. I did some reading about parsley which can help clear the metal. There are binding receptors in some remedies and drugs. A naturopath would have more insight. If you join thyroid unlocked look out for Heloise who co ordinates expert natural medicine specialists who are qualified doctors. She knows about metal toxins. I guess you might have to leave your job and find another?

Thanks for the information. And yes I'm already looking elsewhere for employment. As I'm not sure this is why but it makes sense with the timeline and I'm not getting any better.

Please check your B12 & Folate levels ? B12 below 500 can cause neurological symptoms similar to the ones you mention ...

My insurance wont cover it. Can I request this test and pay out of pocket?
