dental allargy

Many years ago I had my two front teeth removed and teeth on post put in, after this I experienced many strange symptoms which mimiced Lupus, and I had a positive ANA blood test result. Now the things I cannot use is growing by the day, this manifests it self by a tightening around my ribcage and chronic tiredness, when I have to sleep. I am wondering if there is a connection with the dental work? Could I be allergic to the post on my teeth? If it is a possibility how would I find out? I am allergic to perfume, cleaning products and really anything I do not usually use , this might be savlon, baby wash... really anything out of my norm, anf the problem id growing day by day. Any advice or thoughts would be welcome. Thank you.

Sounds like you have developed some serious problems.  I am sorry but I don’t understand what you are referring to when you state, “Now the things I cannot use is growing by the day,...”

I wonder about the status of your lupus and if it might be responsible for the rib cage tightness and your chronic fatigue.  You might want to check that out with your physician.  Any association between your fillings and these symptoms would be speculative.  See the following abstracts.

amalgam.
Source Medical Device Technology. 19(5):8, 10-1, 2008 Sep.
Abstract There is a long running debate about whether or not dental amalgams represent a serious health hazard because of the mercury they contain. A scientific opinion produced for the European Commission has recommended a solution to the conundrum and provides some lessons for other medical device related causation issues.

Title Need for informed consent for dentists who use mercury amalgam
restorative material as well as technical considerations in removal of
dental amalgam restorations.
Source Journal of Environmental Pathology, Toxicology & Oncology.

Abstract Amalgam restorative material generally contains 50% mercury (Hg) in a complex mixture of copper, tin, silver, and zinc. It has been well documented that this mixture continually emits mercury vapor, which is dramatically increased by chewing, eating, brushing, and drinking hot liquids. Mercury has been demonstrated to have damaging effects on the kidney, central nervous system, and cardiovascular system, and has been implicated in gingival tattoos. While mercury amalgams may result in detrimental exposure to the patient, they can also be a danger in dental practices. In Europe, the federal governments of Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden have enacted legislation requiring that dental patients receive informed consent information about the dental restorative material that will be used. In the United States, a few state governments have enacted informed consent legislation for dental patients receiving dental restorations. These state legislations were enacted by Maine, California, Connecticut, and Vermont. It is a sad tragedy that mercury is causing such health damage to many people. The American Dental Association has said for the past 150 years that the mercury in amalgam is safe and does not leak; however, no clinical studies were ever done and the Food and Drug Administration approved amalgam under a grandfather clause. Subsequent studies have shown this claim of safety not to be true. Over ten years ago, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal published a comprehensive article calling mercury restorative material a major source of mercury exposure to the U.S. population. The authors of this paper recommend that federal and state legislation be passed throughout our country to ensure that consent forms are given to patients receiving silver-mercury amalgam restorative material.
