A new mercury story has been posted in the Files section under
Personal Mercury Stories:

Torrie Crocker

"I grew up in Sheridan Oregon, moving to McMinnville in 1994. At age
4, my parents began taking me to the dentist and I received my first
mercury amalgam fillings. They called them silver fillings. Of
course, my parents thought they were getting me the best dental care
possible. Shortly after, I began having problems. I could not sleep
at bedtime, would lay awake for many hours into the night, finally
falling asleep in the wee hours and could not awake until noon. My
attempts at sleeping were interrupted by many trips to the bathroom
to urinate. I did not have the energy to play with other children and
would often sit outside by myself. When company would arive, I would
hide under tables and my Aunt and Grandmother who were caring for me
while my parents were commercial fishing, did not know what was wrong
with me. My hair went from curly to straight and thin, in no time. I
seemed to always be in trouble, and my dad had told me that I just
didn't use my brain and think. This was the beginning of a life
filled with proceding ailments and eventual diseases that I would
come to attribute to mercury poisoning from my amalgam fillings."
