Getting worse after getting better?!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

Is it common to experience worsening of symptoms after one has

improved massively already?

I started chelating back in March. I have now reached round 16 of

DMSA only. Strated at 6mg, progressed to 8 then 12.5and now have been

on 18.75mg for 3 rounds.

One of my main health issues prior to chelating was severe arthritic

pain in my back and hips, a condition known as Ankylosing

Spondylitis. It is strongly linked to Colitis and Crohns and as such

flares up badly with digestive problems.

My syptoms improved so well up to about round 11 or 12. My pain was

hugely reduced and my digestion was better than it has been for

years. but the last month has seen me geting worse again. the pain

has gotten worse and i have constant dihorea.

In AI there is a graph plotting the intensity of symptoms as

Chelation progresses. It does show that one can get worse again

between 2 to 6 months as mercury comes out of the organs and floods

the blood again. Is this true? And if so is it common? Or could it be

that i just cant tolerate the 18.75mg DMSA?

would starting ALA help perhaps?

I am a little woried that i am getting worse again for no reason.

Many thanks

Charlie
