Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Greetings, I just ended round 2 DMSA 12.5 mg, every 3-4 hours. I felt kinda lousy the first day I was on it this time, and had diarrhea all night the first night, but that might have been from the vitamin C I was drinking, along with an epsom salt bath and other magnesium. But I think I've done that before, perhaps not quite as much, and I never get diarrhea. After finally daring to sleep at 5am, the next day I felt quite a bit better, even visited with some people and went out to dinner. Whoopee.. I continued to feel not as bad on round, till the morning after I stopped (Monday), then was quite fatigued (like the walking dead), and still am, though not quite so bad as yesterday. I have a few questions: 1. Since I seem to feel somewhat better on-round, would it be a good idea to boost my dose to 25 mg next time? Or would that mean an even worse off-round? 2. It was a few weeks between my first and second round (new doc, starting thyroid, etc), and at some point in that off time I had a 'lymphatic massage', which was actually somewhat helpful to how I felt (even adrenal probs). It is supposed to encourage lymphatic drainage. I'm wondering now if anyone has an idea at what point in the round cycle it would be most useful to have this type of massage. First day off-round (which is usually the worst), or later, or some time during the round? It would be good to encourage less redistribution, but I'm not sure how the massage would affect this. Any ideas? 3. According to tests I have a low WBC (white blood cell count), which my doc says is probably due to the mercury. Low WBC, along with my high ANA (antinuclear antibodies) is a marker for Lupus, which runs in my family (first cousins). However, I do not have the joint pain which is indicative of lupus (thank heavens). I'm hoping to be able to do something about this WBC, as it means my immune system is not working well (even though I haven't had a cold or infection in a long time). How long does it generally take to get the mercury out of the WBC, so to speak? Others have experience with this? 4. Please refresh my memory or refer me to what page in the book it is described -- how DMSA chelation actually works....does it excrete mercury through the kidneys/urine, or through the liver/feces? Have been unable to find this. 5. I know I've only done 2 rounds, and I'm sure you've all heard this question before. But it would be nice to hear from people when they began to notice any improvements, however slight, and in what sense. May be inspiring to many on the list, and help us keep going. Many thanks to all, NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
