I'm not completely sure, and you certainly need to get checked out by a doctor, but I don't think the kind of metal that's used in fillings causes poisoning.

My first guess would be either depression, a vitamin deficiency, or dehydration. You would not BELIEVE the number of people who walk around dehydrated all day. Lethargia and fatigue are some of the #1 symptoms of that. Try making sure you get 10 8oz glasses of water a day. Then, start taking a good multivitamin daily with meals. If you are depressed, seek treatment.

Either way, I think you definitely still need to go to a doctor to make sure there isn't an underlying illness.

A lot of people here will probably say you might have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but IMO you should try the vitamins and water first before jumping to any major conclusions. I think that especially for women, CFS might be overdiagnosed.

Another thing that could cause this is a lack of protein and/or good carbohydrates (ones that don't make you crash later). Good carbs include anything whole grains, brown rice, natural potatoes, fruit, etc. And in general, women typically don't get enough protein in a day.

Good luck!

Metal fillings never give you metal poisoning. Even if it is done with mercury and silver the amount of mercury is soo little that you never get metal poisoning.

Fillings will not give you metal poisoning. They wouldn't put them in your mouth if they did! =P It may be from something else though..ask your dentist just to be sure.
