Could Playing With Thermometer Mercury Has Anything To Do With Memory Loss?
I played with thermometer mercury numerous times as a child. I have had at least a dozen fillings in the mid eighties. I started having memory loss in my 20 s, my short term memory is bad yet I remember being three years old. Is there a link, am I still at risk with my fillings?

yes inorganic mercury when spread to brain can cause memory loss or impairment in cognitive function. but you should first test how much impairment you have. for this purpose first consult your nearby neurologist. they will do a memory test for you first than you can be said as you have some impairments. thanx healthcare magic
