Monday, November 10, 2008 at 05:51 AMLouisa: My dentist calls it ridiculous as well. I'm just posting my results here and not preaching. Perhaps someone can benefit from the information. The past 3 decades have been very painful. The human body does not come with a textbook. Not every person responds to the same stimuli. If you hit a person in the head with a hammer, they will probably get hurt from it. If some people eat peanuts, some will enjoy them and a few may die from them. You get the point. Several of my friends and family are doctors. They all agree that a lifetime of searching has finally revealed the cause of my severe headaches. My mother has suffered from severe headaches for over 30 years as well. She will not even consider metal in her mouth as a possible cause. I think she has given up on searching and just takes drugs to ease the pain. I was working on a long list of possibilities when I reached the amalgams. I have actually been arguing with my dentist for over 10 years about the amalgams. He told me to leave them alone as I didn’t need the trauma. I was told there was no conclusive evidence to support a link between headaches and mercury in the mouth. My old dentist has since retired and the new dentist didn’t hesitate to do what I asked. And here I am with no more headaches. I was actually scheduled have sinus surgery this year to correct a deviated septum and trim my swollen turbinates. I am going to put that on hold. The things that used to trigger my headaches no longer affect me. Peanuts, citrus, sulfites, perfume, red wine are just a few things that would trigger my headaches and have no affect on me today. I do hope that you find relief and or a cure for your headaches. I have been where you are. Be well! Joere: re: Untitled Comment

Thank you so much for posting this! I grabbed a paperclip and off I went. I got a low level shock on some and on two of them a jolt. I have very good teeth so not a lot of fillings. I also have TMJ which I get adjusted so another good point you made. I've had chronic daily headaches for most of my life starting in my 20's. I have not needed any fillings for at least 20 years. After doing the paperclip test my normal headache is much worse right now....and I'm happy! Maybe this is the reason. My migraines are also inherited but they were always much worse than my Mom's and this might be a reason why. I've printed out your story to take with me and will be making a dentist appt today. I'm happy things are better for you and you were thoughtful enough to share with the rest of us! Calli -

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 08:31 AMOK! It has been eight full months since my last Migraine. My last trip to the ER was so long ago, I have forgotten the names of the ER staff. So I am living what I call a normal life now without headaches. I had to get used to it at first. It took a few days because I figured the pain would start soon. Each day I was uneasy from the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep, I would worry that the pain would come back but it didn't. Then I started to experiment by eating foods which used to put me in the hospital. Still, no pain. Eight months after my trip to my dentist to have those fillings replaced, I have no headaches. I was taking Imitrex every day and sometimes it didn't work. I looked into the pill case I have carried most of my life and the imitrex tablets have turned into powder from rattling around for all those months. My life long congestion has been reduced about 90 percent. I can actually breath through my nose all day and all night which I have not been able to do since my childhood. I still see my chiropractor every week and take an occasional benedryl for the pollen allergies but otherwise, I feel well.
I am sharing this information with everyone. Getting the mercury out of your head is worth the trauma and maybe it will help you too. I will post every once in a while but it is unlikely the headaches will return.
