I had TH replacement in 04…in ‘20, had rev. due to pseudo tumor..I had no idea how serious it was…my cobal, chromium & cadmium levels have decreased, but my brain (memory) is shot. I’m at wits end…I’d like to know what to do now…I can’t even keep up w/ daily chores anymore. Crying because I feel like such a failure to my 2 boys. It’s hard when they have to tell their friends, “she has metal poisoning, so she doesn’t remember a lot “.
I feel like such a burden to my family.

I'm sorry, Tina, that revision wasn't a cure for your problems. I was left with a few permanent reminders of my journey with metallosis, including a nasty tremor, which seems to be getting worse. I finally saw a neurologist who was able to prescribe medication taht helps some.

Have you consulted a neurologist about your memory issues?
