I have been chronically ill for about two years. It started with a really bad sinus infection that went into my inner ear and permanently damaged it. That caused dizziness and nausea and suddenly I also had CFS, FM, and migraine. I had to stop working, and it was a full year before I began to live my life somewhat normally again. I then did a candida cleanse diet, which helped a lot, but the diet and starting to recover from the ear injury didn't solve all my problems. I still had the fatigue, the constant pain, and was starting to develop more neurological problems, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hands and terrible brain fog. So I looked more seriously into mercury (I had suspected mercury poisoning as a cause of illness months before when an MRI scan showed multiple brain lesions, but was too ill at that time to think about taking any steps). I had my Amalgam fillings replaced about a month ago. Some relief instantly, such as more energy, but the pain and Arthritis are worse if anything. I also have a more or less constant ache in my jaw since a wisdom tooth extraction a few years ago, and when I read about cavitations I put two and two together and decided I must have one, especially since infection from the jaw can spread so easily into the ear and sinus, and the ear that was damaged is on the same side as the tooth extraction. So I asked my holistic dentist who was replacing the mercury about it and he told me to get a CT scan of my upper and lower jaw, which I did.

So the scan came back and he eventually after a lot of probing said it showed a cavitation, but then he informed me that he no longer does the surgery there, so he referred me to another dentist. I went to the second dentist with my scans, and he also after about an hour said he thought the scan showed a cavitation, but he was too expensive and he also was coy about answering most of my questions, so I started looking elsewhere. All dentists (and their receptionists) I've spoken to about this are really non-commital and cagey when you start to ask them direct questions about cavitations. I think that's because of all the lawsuits, but it makes the whole thing seem really dicey. It they can't or won't commit to a diagnosis, then how can you commit to having surgery and spending thousands of dollars? And yet I'm still so ill. It's almost as if they want to put the ball back in your court, and act as if you are the crazy one who has requested this weird procedure, and they are only doing it because you made them do it. I had to ask each of the two dentists about five times if they thought I had a cavitation before I got a direct answer. It does not inspire confidence. I have an appointment next week with Dr. Hansen. I'll let you know how it goes.
