As for me it was also good in one way to get the diagnosis as it explained a lot of strange things that had happened. But I promise, it's not easy to live with this even if I seem tough (?). I'm struggling all the time to find ways to handle things, aid and so on. But I can also enjoy life, even if quite a big part of it goes on here at my computer...

I don't understand everything that's written here but now I realise that you Art aren't able to play your instrument and that has to be terrible! As for me walking is the big problem and I miss very much walking in the wood as it was a big part of my life. But it seems like I can live without it..?? Not quite sure...

I have one friend who got the diagnoisis after removing silver fillings in a bad way. After removing it all in a secure way her symptoms disappeared! Such things give me hope even if it's also very dangerous to do this when you have neurological problems - it can get worse, at least for some time.

But we're all different so we have to test things, even the "scientific" things! They are really experimenting with us! The pharmaceutial companies don't tell us evrything about the side effects for instance. By the way science (partly) sais it is safe to store mercury in our mouths... Else it has to be stored far down in the bedrock...

Berit, it's quite early in the morning in Sweden, so I may be a bit muddleheaded! (a nice word I had to look up...)
