Hope Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 We do grow mold in our window sills. I have to bleach them every so often.I don't lie on my belly due to the pressure on my face, it's always been that way. It's uncomfortable.I DO NOT feel pressure on my face when I stand up. I do have mercury fillings and have wondered if they might be compromising my health. Let me add that I have them because my adult teeth came in with much missing enamel. The dentist when I was about 9 put bonding on my front teeth and mercury fillings on my back ones that were missing enamel. I think the missing enamel was already a sign of a bad immune system. I had a bad virus with a very high fever (hong kong flu I am told) while my adult teeth were forming in my gums. I am NOT a vegetarian or vegan, although I probably eat less meat than regular carnivores.=)My symptoms first started as a teen, approximately 30 years ago. It didn't disable me until 2 years ago.

blueskies Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 We moved about 10 months ago, now and I don't have any mould at this new place. I used to have really bad sinusitis. I had two operations on my sinuses to enlarge sinuses of the face both sides of the nose, straighten a broken septum (which I could not see looking at but it showed up in x-ray) and remove a nasal polyp. The first op didn't work, the second one did and I went sinus problem free for 10 years but for the past years sinusitis is back. My teeth and gums are dreadful and I try to look after them well with brushing, flossing and using interdens brushes and have done all my life. I have missing molars, caps and lots of mercury fillings. I sometimes wonder if the mercury fillings are causing all this illness but the ADA (Australian) officially denies any thing wrong with these fillings. Or at least they did, when I last looked some years ago. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaked Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have sinusitis (and vestibular vertigo) and pressure sensations. Also a vegetarian. Have wondered about metal poisoning at times but can't think of any possible source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maia Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 According to Mayo and others, most chronic sinusitis is fungal. Mercury tends to lower your immune system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hanice Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I thinks we should all get the emalgom mercury removed safely with a dentist that knows how dangerous it can be to rwmove it. A dentist that knows how to do it safely. This is so messed up this isnt idopathic, there is definite reason behind all this nonsense. I have a root canal that the crown fell off and as soon as it did my symtpoms got crazy worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
