Light At The End Of A Long Tunnel

The past 5 years have been quite the struggle, following this rare but torturous discovery.

The symptoms of the mercury toxicity finally wore off, for the most part.....most of which was realised about 2 years after amalgam removal, and detoxing. However, the permanent damage was irrepairable. I had elected to have all of my maxillary teeth removed about 3 years ago, because the nerves were very slowly dying as a direct result of the toxicity. I just couldn't bare the chronic pain any longer. Now, all is well, for the most part, from a pain standpoint.......other than some residual TMJ, resulting from all that had happened.

The latter part has finally become manageable. Through physical therapy, trigger point therapy (a form of therapeutic massage), and the use of oral muscle relaxants, pain-free days are now a reality again, after 5 years of torture.

To anyone who may have stumbled across my blog, in seek of advice, whether it be for heavy metal detox or TMJ management, please feel free to email me direct (jcarlozzi@yahoo.com). I would be more than happy to try and help seek out direction towards a solution.
