[dahlia985]

Could my mercury poisoining be causing my absense of sweat, burning red flare ups on my skin when I feel the slightest warmth, and nauseating hot flashes?  Does anyone know how to treat this uncomfortable condition?!

How did you get exposed to mercury?Calomel,mercury fumes,some so called herbal medications can caue pink disease.More history is needed as to how and when it started?medications on, age,occupation area of involvement-to give a reasonable diagnosis.

I became exposed by my MMR vaccines as a child and when I got my meningitis vaccine when I was 18.  I am now 23 and have had symptoms of no sweating ever since about 18.  I have progressively gone downhill healthwise to the point where I was so severely intolerant to any food and had such severe stomach cramping, pains, bloating, and chronic constipation that I found myself down to about 98 pounds at 5'9''.  I have just been diagnosed by a homeopathic doctor as having severe gluten intolereance and lactose intolerance (which were causing me such malnutrition and pain when I ate gluten).  I am on sereval herbal medicines to combat my hot flashes as I call them and build my immune system including zinc, glutathione, selenium, fish oils, lymph tone and metal chord (to detox the mercury).  I have researched and found that mercury toxicity could make celiac (a genetic intolerance to gluten) even worse.  I am thining all of my symptoms are connected and have been trying a gluten free diet, yet my hot flahses are worse than ever and cause me to feel as though I am burning!
I do not eat a lot of tuna or have been exposed to any sort of pesticides that I know of that would have caused any other mercury toxicity.  What is pink disease as you called it?

Now a rare disease, acrodynia (painful extremities) primarily affects young children. The symptoms of irritability, photophobia, pink discoloration of the hands and feet, and polyneuritis can be attributed to chronic exposure to mercury,known as pink disease.
