Hello Susan,

To put it bluntly, I really don't know although I would think that you should be
feeling much better as the lead levels in your blood come down, although 37 is
still pretty high and if I were you I would be taking as much calcium as
possible and possibly booking myself in for a bone density test.

I don't think that the effects of lead poisoning ever leave you because of it
being stored in the bones, but that you shouldn't be feeling as bad as you are
feeling at the moment. Do you have a good doctor with whom you can discuss
these matters? The only reason why I ask is because you may be putting some of
these symptoms down to lead poisoning when the underlying cause may be something
different altogether.

Susan, I do hope that you are feeling much better soon,

Warmest wishes,
Jay
