New here, hello. I was railroaded by Drs trying to treat my symptoms and not looking for the cause, Working in an industrial sheet metal shop, I was breathing metal dust from metal hot work : plasma cutting area. I knew something was badly wrong but symptoms came on slowly, first signs were an ugly sore skin rash, bleeding lesions on back, voice problems, soar throat, nasal congestion, daily nose bleeds, mouth and tongue ulcers, purpling veins in mouth and throat. Now it’s anxiety, panic, fear, depression, and shaking ( tremors) in arms and legs ( peripheral neuropathy). I did not know metal dust was toxic, Since then I have had hair, nail, and urine tests confirming high amounts of lead, mercury, arsenic barium and vanadium. Due to time lapsed since exposure and leaving the job, a blood test for metals is no longer an option, as it doesn’t stay in the blood that long migrating into the soft tissues and bones. How else can I prove exposure definitively ? it is taking my ability to function and support myself away. I desperately need this for health insurance and legal purposes. Thank you, wanting for a little hope, G-
