    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    I WAS IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT AND I BIT DOWN ON GLASS FROM A WINDOW. THE IMPACT CAUSED SEVERAL OF MY FILLINGS AND TEETH TO BREAK. I WENT TO A DENTIST A FEW MONTHS LATER TO REPAIR THE DAMAGED TEETH. I ENDED UP ENDURING A LOT OF PHYSICAL PAIN AND BLEEDING FROM THE PROCEDURES AND THE DENTISTS REMOVED, REPLACED AND ADDED ABOUT 15 MERCURY AMALGAM FILLINGS TO MY MOUTH OVER A 2 MONTH PERIOD. I FELT VERY ILL DURING THE WHOLE PROCESS. I HAD NO ENERGY, I WAS BEDRIDDEN, I WAS UNABLE TO FUNCTION AT WORK, I HAD STOMACH PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS CONCENTRATING AND DEVELOPED A TICK. RIGHT AFTER ONE OF MY TREATMENTS I BECAME VIOLENTLY ILL AND VOMITED A POOL OF FLUORESCENT GREEN VOMIT THAT TASTE LIKE METAL. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND BROUGHT IN PHOTOGRAPHS. I KNOW I WAS MERCURY POISONED. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED IN 2002. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE DOCTOR REPORTED THIS INCIDENT OR NOT. I DID NOT HAVE ANY INFO ON MERCURY POISONING AT THE TIME, BUT NOW I SEE THERE ARE MANY SUPPORT GROUPS ONLINE. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG-TERM AFFECTS OF THIS AND I AM BOTHERED ABOUT NOT BEING GIVEN A CHOICE BY THE DENTISTS ABOUT THE MATERIAL THEY PUT IN MY MOUTH. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DEVASTATING TO ME AND WAS DIFFICULT TO RECOVER FROM.
