pain in (joint?) thumb & index finger

[Guest guest]

Dear Andy/group,

I just started DMSA 100 every 4 hours two days ago after taking a few

years off. All fillings were removed 4 years ago. Let me back up.

I started the Atkens Diet about one week ago after severe bloating

caused by poor diet with too many carbs. Things went well for a few

days, bloating reduced. I was eating lots of (sulfur foods?) Eggs,

onions, garlic, broccli, cabbage Dairy...and developed a strong

headache at the top of my head and this pain in my hand. (Makes using

pinching action difficult). I had this happen previously during detox.

I started the DMSA, the headache went away, but the hands are getting

worse. Does anyone else have this symptom? I've stopped the sulfur

foods, but would like to continue Atkins. In the past the pain in my

hands went away when I stopped chelation or detox. I'm worried this

might cause some permanent damage.

I'm taking basic supplements, is there one that helps with this? In

the past I've gotten a stiff neck, where I couldn't turn it at all.

(very painful). This scared me away from chelating several years ago.

Thanks in advance, I'm continuing with the DMSA, but worried. ~Jenn
