Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Wyndie, I am allergic to sulfa drugs and I am okay with DMSA. I think your dose is too high. I started at 10 mg and if I were doing it over, I would start at 6.25 mg. I suggest you try a dose of at most 12.5 mg next time. Are you on any adrenal support? Your symptoms of pain and fatigue sound like you might need something. I tolerated chelators much better after getting adrenal support. -- > > I started DMSA last night AC protocol.

I reduced the dose to 12.5 mg and was fine. Try a round at 12.5 mg. If side effects are extreme, STOP, and try the next round at 5 mg (or try 5 mg first if you think that is best).

I was on cortisol and thyroid hormone and tons of supplements..... but I was using doses that were too high for me. See TKs general recommendations in the files section.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Yes I will definately start much lower next time. Thank you for your suggestions and personal experience. I guess I just thought I would tough my way thru any difficulty. HA! I am on B5 for adrenal support. I had my DHEA test run last week and hopefully that will give my doc reason to give me rx adrenal support. I used that enzymatic therapy adrenergize once and it did nothing for me, so I'm guessing an rx would be better for me. I think I will put off my next try until I am on better adrenal support.
