Round 3 completed of 12.5mg DMSA every 4 hours 3 days on 4 days off,

even dosing at night.

I love my new color vision. Round 3 I have the color red coming back

now LOL. I continue to be amazed at this remarkable added bonus.

Round 1 was blue, round 2 was yellow, now I got red back too. Happy

happy dayz! The rounds are worth doing for this color vision alone;-)

-------Congratulations on your colors coming back, how exciting!---Jackie

I did have a re-distrebution experience at the end of the round, a

bit of brain fog for 1-2 hours 15 hours after the last dose, but was

managable.

On round on the second day in the morning I felt like a million

bucks again, just like previous rounds. Then in the afternoon I felt

terrible again, just like previous rounds. Day 1 and 3 in just felt

better. Overall pretty good, but still a bit of a rollercoaster

ride. Although amalgam removal aftereffects are still hitting me,

the second day sensations have been basically the same on each

round, so I assume I need to dose more frequently than every four

hours. (Thks Jackie)

Q: does it matter if I go to 3 hours or 3.5 hours dosing?

--------I don't think it matters, it is one of those things you'll have to try

and see how it goes. The problem with 3.5 hour dosing is that the time is

always changing and is probably easier to make a mistake. 3 hour dosing is nice

because it stays on the hour, and when you add in ALA, you'll be doing 3 hour

anyway.-------Jackie

4.0 hour schedule: 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm, 2pm

3.5 hour schedule: 6am, 930am, 1pm, 430pm, 8pm, 1130pm, 3am

3.0 hour schedule: 6am, 9am, 12am, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12pm, 3am

The three hour schedule seems better for me, but I will be upping my

dose by an extra 2 x 12.5mg..is that ok?

---------As long as you tolerate it, it is fine. I think people usually

tolerate more frequent dosing at the same lower dose more easily than they

tolerate upping there dose on the same schedule. For example, when I tried

DMPS, I first tried 20mg every 8 hours, which seemed like too much. But I

tolerated 15mg every 6 hours just fine. A total of 60mg in 24 hours both ways,

but I tolerated taking the lower dose 4 times a day better than taking the

bigger dose 3 times a day. Not exactly what you'd be doing, but I hope it makes

sense.-------Jackie

(is there any way to avoid waking twice at night?)

---------That is the problem with more frequent dosing. It might help to take

a dose right when you go to bed, to hopefully maximize your sleep time. Or set

one of your dose times for when you wake up in the morning. When people start

using ALA, Andy has said it is ok to dose at 3 hours during the day and go 4

hours at night, to get more sleep. So this should work for DMSA only also,

because people dose it with the ALA. Some people tolerate this, and some don't,

so you'd just have to try it. The schedule would be something like:

6am, 9am, 12noon, 3pm, 6pm, 10pm, 2am

Hope this helps.----------Jackie

introduced anyway. Good thinking Batgirl, thanks.

Sunshine: That schedule looks ideal. obviously i'd need to try it

and see what happens, but is that evening dosing ok? i mean the 6pm

to 10pm - the 4 hours interval? i thought it was just at night time,

like when sleeping that the interval can be stretched to 4 hours?

also, would the above schedule work with the ALA?

Thanks Jackie;-)

---------If you only do two 4 hour intervals, then that will throw your times

off the next day and the next night. Just do it on paper, and you'll see what I

mean. So to keep the times the same each day, you have to do 12 hours at 3 hour

dosing, and 12 hours at 4 hour dosing. You could do the other 4 hour dose in

the morning, instead of in the evening, if that worked better for some

reason.---------Jackie

also, would the above schedule work with the ALA?

--------Yes it should, unless you're one of those people that really have to

dose ALA more frequently, and you won't know until you try it.--------Jackie
