Hi all,

I'm done with my second round of DMSA. I started that round because I found

the good

emotional effects of the first round disappearing after 5 or 6 days. I began

to sink into

Doom and suspected that getting on round again would clear things up. And it

did. With

basically zero side effects this time. I'm one of the lucky ones who get the

antidepressant

effect with DMSA.

And still I'm struggling to come to terms with this. This chelation protocol

is a long long

process. I've had other problems that took a long time to clear up, but I

didn't know that

up front. Here I can see the future, and it's full of pills. I'm being

flippant. The thing that I

really hate is the mood swings. It's tempting to just turn off my connection

to my feelings

for the next year or so, because they're not really me, anyway. It's just the

mercury.

--------Here's a link to a post by Andy about what to do about depression and

other mental symptoms, maybe something here will help.-------Jackie

So I'm working on adjusting my attitude. I tell myself that things are only

going to get

better from now on. That I'm rising out of the dump phase. That I'll find a

good dose and

schedule and supplement plan that really works. That being on round feels

good. And in

these past few days, being off round feels good too. I'll find a way to make

this work.

-----------Having a positive attitude and thinking positive thoughts is great

self therapy. This can only help. Good for you!-------Jackie

Anyway, I'm on vacation and I wanted to share something that makes me smile.

I'm

carrying around these pill minders, probiotics, ox bile enzymes, flax caps

with me to these

very fancy restaurants and taking fistfuls of pills with my meals. And running

through my

head the whole time is this fragment of a poem I remember from childhood:

" Every day, for their ills,

They take dozens of pills,

So they rattle like mad when they run. "

Keep on rattling,

Aine

-----------------I must rattle alot also!---------Jackie
