Blurry vision & R-Lipoic acid

[Guest guest]

I have been having blurrier vision for the first time on this round

(approx my 12th overall) and the first I tried R-Lipoic acid tablets

(Source Naturals) which I bought before I read a bunch of recent

posts on not using them. I wanted to try them at 1/4 my usual

dose (usual 50mg, tried at 12.5 mg) on the regular Cutler

schedule. Noticed blurrier vision, also recurrenct of ocular

migraine (haven't had them since fillings removed) also got

menstrual cycle onset headache, which hasn't happened since

I got fillings removed (almost 6 mo ago, after occurring the

day before each period for years). This was the first time I

had started chelating at approx the day before my period (usual

headache time in the past).

Does the blurry vision go away? Has anyone else had an ocular

migraine (shimmering zebra lines that move out from the center

to edges of vision then disappear). I didn't know they might be

related to mercury until they stopped happening soon after

fillings were removed.

I was really good about the schedule throughout this round,

mostly taking doses at 2 hours all day and not exceeding 4hrs

at night. My doctor has said he thinks RLA is up to 10x more

effective per dose which is why I cut the dose a bit. I might

try the mixed ALA again at a higher dose and see if I get the

same symptoms (would still be within or close to the 1/2 mg

per pound limit).
