Mercury/lupus?

Hi, I'm new here. My body cannot clear mercury and therefore damages organs etc. Having mercury in teething powders as a child and 15 amalgam fillings at a young age I have been subjected to a lot of mercury. A few years ago I came across a newsletter from other who described all the symptoms I have been having all my life as lupus like. Painful joints, muscles and bones sore to the touch, very little strength or energy. Unexplained bowel changes and pains. Adverse reaction to medications, breathing problems with certain substances. A CT scan caused rash, burning areas that have taken years to repair, areas of peeling skin still peeling 2 years after. Last December I fell landing flat on my nose on concrete, lots of headaches since. 6 months ago I developed shingles in eye, face and head and now have binocular vision, still on steroid drops. Memory comes and goes. I have been self isolating so have not had any follow ups. I wondered if anybody has been subjected to mercury and whether you have been diagnosed as a cause for lupus. Many thanks. Connect 2

Hi, yes I have heard that the fillings were unnecessary, even more worrying in the 70/80s pregnant women had fillings removed and refilled as you didn't have to pay but the dentist were paid so they encouraged it. They now know mercury passes through the placenta damaging the unborn child. I believe the radiation from CT scan released mercury vapour causing burning and ulcers in the mouth and throat. With regard to composite fillings I had to have one removed after 2 days as my throat was closing up. Not sure what I shall do if I need anymore. Regards
