I’m so sorry that you don’t have any answers yet to help you get better.
At the Mayo ER you mentioned that they found that you are overproducing red blood cells- is that something your GP can continue evaluating? It’s not normal.
When you say you have metal poisoning- do you mean lead poisoning or mercury poisoning?
It’s easy enough to get a lead blood screening. If you have elevated heavy metal levels that could possibly explain some symptoms.

Hi.

To answer the questions, yes I have lead, mercury and aluminum poisoning. I found this out in January and have been treating it however with the numbers coming down, mentally I am feeling worse. My hemoglobin and hematocrit are both slightly elevated but egfr is normal so the doc is assuming it’s my iron intake
