I did a lot of Welding with Lead Paint, inhaled lot's of fumes,its in my Bones now what?

YOU DID NOT ASK A QUESTION BUT HERE IS SOME INFO, I HOPE THAT IT HELPS YOU.

lead can increase blood pressure and cause fertility problems, nerve disorders, muscle and joint pain, irritability, and memory or concentration problems. It takes a significantly greater level of exposure to lead for adults than it does for kids to sustain adverse health effects. Most adults who are lead poisoned get exposed to lead at work. Occupations related to house painting, welding, renovation and remodeling activities, smelters, firing ranges, the manufacture and disposal of car batteries, and the maintenance and repair of bridges and water towers, are particularly at risk for lead exposure. Workers in these occupations must also take care not to leave their work site with potentially contaminated clothing, tools, and facial hair, or with unwashed hands. Otherwise, they can spread the lead to their family vehicles and ultimately to other family members.
TREATMENT:
When required, elevated blood lead levels are treated with chelation therapy. These medications are chelating agents, which decrease blood lead levels by binding to them, so that they can be excreted in the urine. Medications include DMSA (also called Chemet, Succimer or Dimercaptosuccinic acid), an oral drug that binds to lead and mercury and is given every eight hours for five days and then every twelve hours for two more weeks. It is usually used for BLLs between 45 and 69. The lead level should be rechecked in 7 - 21 days after treatment is begun to determine if treatment has been adequate.

Other chelating agent that are used for treatment of symptomatic lead poisoning and for BLLs >69 is EDTA (Calcium Disodium EDTA) which is given as a continuous infusion or as intramuscular injections for 3-5 days and BAL (British anti-lewisite or dimercaprol) which is given as an injection.
