Most of the things you are complaining of are symptoms that many, many people have at one time or another. I have had most of them at one time or another.
So you are not particularly special, and should perhaps relax - a lot of these things can be brought on by anxiety.
I never had "anxiety". I never was stressed by life or my circumstances. I lived very comfortably.
I also did mention that I was at a university clinic and had a doctor, who even had actually suspected that I had more and did look for other causes. Do you think that doctor, who was a researcher too, was not capable? I also mentioned he did not have a financial incentive - when I was still searching for a cause after it had escalated and nobody could help I had plenty of doctors trying to sell me useless stuff. I'm not even mad, they did so after doing what they could with their training, if I had a specific problem within their field of expertise I would still go to each of them, just now better knowing how to use them instead of expecting a solution to all problems (just an aside, but we know financial incentives matter - plenty of reports and studies about useless overtreatment).
All those things I mentioned were stable and increasing for over two decades. And then they went away quickly after chelation therapy. They were not even on the radar!
And you seriously propose I suffered from "head stuff"???
Also, doctors look at symptoms as a whole. Sure you can ignore everything I wrote (and even more that only my doctor and me know) and try to refute every single system individually by claiming I must have about a hundred different conditions, one for every little issue. Or, you can accept that there was only one problem to begin with that caused them all.
What exactly is so outrageous about accepting heavy metals as a cause? "There is no safe level of lead" is official mantra, and I found a paper for training health workers on an NIH website saying mercury is an order of magnitude worse. So where exactly is it so unthinkable that that stuff actually does cause problems in the real world, and not just in theoretical medical papers?
After about a year both my doctor and I on the same appointment wanted (and di) to say to one another the same thing. I wanted to ask, because I was aware of the lab test values over time, and he said it before I could ask, that we had reached the end of treatment covered by medical science and the available studies. But he agreed I could continue under his now more passive and more observing guidance if I felt it still helped. It did so for years, and I had signs, not just symptoms, associated with continued use of chelators. That included reactions from within my jaw after chelation and a lot of other stuff, visible. If all of that was "psychological", then there really is no need for doctors any more and they can all retrain as psychologists because nothing is real.
But you know what? It actually really was in my head! mercury is a neurotoxin, so yes, there was definitely an impact. Brain is chemistry though! I'll never understand this "it's just psychological" mindset, which is the real unscientific esoteric quasi-religious stuff as far as I'm concerned.
