Okay, this may sound really weird, but here goes:

I'm going to try and make a really long story short. I live in New York City. Manhattan is an island which is surrounded by really polluted waters. To the west, there is the Hudson river (which I read is polluted with PCBs) and to these East is the East river which is also an extremely polluted water. This may sound really crazy, but I've noticed that I feel different when I'm on the west side than when I'm on the east side. When I'm on the west side, I feel extremely tired and lethargic and severely depressed, and when I'm on the east side, I can't really feel my feelings at all, can't feel either sad or happy, and I get bad headaches, and get severely hungry. This sounds extremely crazy, I know. After doing tons of research, after trying everything, meeting with tons of doctors, after taking tons of tests (which by the way revealed that my mercury levels are off the charts), after writing journals to keep track of what I ate etc, in the end I attributed this to mercury poisoning since I've read that mercury poisoning can cause extreme environmental sensitivities. I had the last of my Amalgams removed a few weeks ago, and I am starting to chelate, although I am still having the issues with regards to these crazy environmental sensitivities. I literally feel everything I breathe in. My mood is not ever based on the situation of things going on in my life, my moods are based on where I physically am at the moment. It is really affecting my brain and nerves. On the west side, I also get extremely bloated and congested, and on the east side, the bloat goes away, but my brain just does not work, and I cannot feel anything (I can barely even get feelings from eating food) and cannot think. I know that all of the above probaby sounds as if I am clinically insane, but all of these things are true. I was wondering if anyone here can advise me as to whether they believe that this is related to my mercury poisoning. I am hoping that things will get better the further I get into chelation. Please don't ask me why don't I move - my situation can't allow it for the moment being. I would love to know if you all think that this is related to mercury poisoning. Thank you all!
