Hi

My girl friend started complaining about : being tired all the time, or even after a little activity. She felt like her feet ( which then spread to her arms ) started getting hot/burning feeling needles and pain on calf of her feet/hands
having headaches
feeling nauseated ...

I personally ignored it at first, but then, when it prolonged, it got me concerned, she used to be very active/healthy person, we used to run a distance together every day ..

I tried to figure it out, so I observed every thing, even reviewed recent activities during prior years to this condition, from anything that she ate to what she thought in an almost real time-manner ... started giving her supplements from vitamins to any mineral ( in the range of the safe dose never exceeded ), even we visited 2/3 doctors and took some blood tests, brain and spinal cord CT scans, everything came back normal, they thought it could be depression, it got me into it with them with no avail, they prescribed many psychiatric drugs which we ignored/never used because the problem she was facing she was in a good mental condition ( need to note that when she got anxious or sad the symptoms intensified ) ... long story short, one day I realized just after giving her zinc supplements, she got nauseated!! It got me concerned and after some research and according to long ( more than 3 years!!!!!! I know it's insane ) use of dental fixodent ( for fixing dental orthosis, dentists use a adhesive to prevent microbial/bacterial growth around the teeth and keeping it in place, it contains too much zinc so it can be ingested or absorbed directly by tongue ) I concluded that the case is " hyperzincemia " a new disorder which can then damage the myelin sheat and develop neuropathy or some other neurological disorders .
we checked zinc/copper/copper serum levels / ceruloplasmin / and tried to check other related tests which they couldn't afford at most clinics, every thing came back normal! Expect a minor vitamin D deficiency ...

There's no doubt that, the problem is due to zinc levels, after eating anything containing zinc ( chocolate, grains ... ) she get nauseated even after she touch the zinc tablet with her tongue, she feels a bitter taste which is another indicator that zinc levels are high in her body, using zinc ointments for healing winds, or even after getting in contact with it to use the ointment to apply in some one else's body as a medium she gets tremendously tired!!, my assumption is that the zinc has accumulated in the cells so the blood tests are unable to indicate it .

I was wondering if anyone else is facing the same issue? or does anyone know how one can decrease or get rid of excess zinc which accumulated in cells?
any help / any response or advice would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance .
