BEFORE I BEGIN, I WANT TO PREFIX BY SAYING THAT I AM NOT STATING THAT WHAT I AM GOING TO MENTION IS THE CAUSE OR CURE FOR DP/DR.

Hey gang its been a while since I've posted anything. Its been a bumpy ride. Anyway, a routine blood test back in April revealed very low testosterone(both and free and total). Long story short, I ended up getting a full endocrine evaluation by a high profile endocrinologist who, after viewing my lab results, noticed a particular imbalance that is indicative of heavy metal toxicity; Mercury and Lead to be specific. Sure enough, a recent test shows that my mercury levels are elevated and my body is not excreting the toxins effectively(retention toxicity).

Is there anyone out there who has been on hormone replacement therapy and had to detox from heavy metals while having DP/DR?

Will it make matters worse? I feel like I'm all alone in this with a unique situation so any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

(Also I want to kindly ask to stick to the subject and no jail house lawyer talk please. If you have questions outside of this topic, message me)

Please check into the Facebook group mercury detox support group ... I have been doing a ton of research on this ! It is important to detox the correct way or it could ultimately make you more sick

Thank you so much for directing me there. I personally don't know anyone who even knows about this let alone going through it so I hope to get informed. And very true, some people go into detox with the best intentions but end up getting sick as a result of going into it blindly. This is exactly what I want to avoid. THANKS!

I vaguely remember doing the self "chelation" process at one point in my life to see if it would have any effect on my mental health. I remember taking DMSA pills on some kind of schedule which allowed my body to restore lost calcium and iron . The pills made one's urine smell like sulfur, as I remember. The therapy was probably harmless, but it does tend to bind with and eliminate necessary substances in the body, such as iron and calcium. I didn't realize any positive outcome, as I remember.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We're you tested for Heavy Metals and toxins before chelating and taking DMSA?

Years ago, I entertained the possibility that my symptoms were the result of heavy metal toxicity. I researched home chelation and did it. It's been so long I forget the details.
I remember my urine smelling strongly of sulfur. I think that sulfur is what you take as heavy metals bind to it and you can flush them from your body. Be careful, as there are
several healthy metals you need, (ron, copper, etc.) and the chelation flushes them as well so you have to be prepared to replace them. Long story short, it wasn't the solution
to my problem.
