Hello everyone.
What a relief to know that after 18 years I am not alone.
So many people with similar illness to me.
I worked as a nurse so was already exposed to lots of chemicals including a lot of mercury vapour in the Dental Dept. In 1990 I had a course of 3 Hepatitis B vaccines and have been ill with MCS and Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia symptoms since then.
I have just had it confirmed by Glaxo that there was mercury in the vaccines which would have been enough to sensitize me. So along with everything else that I seem to be allergic to the vaccine would, almost certainly have caused me this illness.
This is the first piece of anything near to proof that I have that this is what caused it. Occupational Health have destroyed my records and I do not even have proof I had the vaccine.
It is outrageous that this is not recognized. For 18 years I have been seeing various specialists for one thing and another (at great cost to the health service and myself!) the only thing I have been offered is antidepressants which I knew was wrong since I was not depressed!
My mission is now to help get this recognized. Many are suffering and we can't move on until it is.
I am in consultation with my local MP.
Adrienne
