Tremors and dementia

Sent to Health Experts October 16 07:40 AM

I am a 23 year old male, who is suffering from tremors, and small amounts of dementia. This started obout 11 mounths ago, but the tremors dont stop or slow when I'm doing things, ive seen 14 doctors and spent 2 weeks in the mayo clinic to no avail. No one seems able to find the cause. I just did a ionization at a massage and therapy clinic, and it turned out a lot of lead comming from my body. could it be heavy metal posioning? If not, what then?   p.s. they kinda ruled out sommatiform disorder.

 

Optional Information:
Male , Age: 23

Please, the only way to determine lead toxicity is with blood and urine assays.

I may not be able to help, so I'm sending this as an inquiry, and you won't have to pay unless we get somewhere.

I have great respect for individual doctors at Mayo, but none at all for their production line, clinic operation. If you were not referred to a specific doctor there, let's see what I can develop.

Tell me where you live and when and how this started, so that I can start getting the picture.

Reply to Doctor Nash's Post: Sinai, South dakota 57061. It started out a slight tremors in the hands and head, and gradually became worse over the next few months. I had double vision, loss of vision temporarily, and see flashes of light and what they are calling aura?( spots of light floating). They said it was the worse case of tremors they have seen. I am slowly adjusting to it though, but holding things without crushing or dropping them seems to be a bother still. At mayo, my lead doctor was Kevin fleming. they also said I have gait disorder, shaking and tremors, pain( arthralgias and myalgias), dizziness, dysphagia, and episoeds of loss or change in cognition. but there is no evidence of a contributing psychatric illness such as anxiety or depression, also diffuse joint laxity. they also said it wasnt a conversion disorder, and said i dont need therapy or medication. please help me, i'm kinda stuck right now, and i dont have a credit card to make the online payment, just a checking account...

I have identified Dr. Fleming as an assistant professor of medicine and neurology at Mayo.

I had been hoping that you had not been seen by one of their specialists, but you have been.

At this point, I can't think of anything constructive that I can do to help you. If I could, I would not be concerned about your ability to pay.

I regret that I have given you false hope and wish you luck.
