Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I have completed 12 rounds of ALA/DMSA so far. Unfortunately not all rounds were 'perfect': 1. I had to stop one round after 1 day because i missed a dose. 2. There were 2 rounds were i took a dose after 4 hours 20 minutes once instead of 3 hours. What do you think? Is that ok or am i making too many mistakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I agree we all make mistakes and have probably had to end rounds early for one reason or another. So don't be too hard on yourself. I just want you guys to be clear that a 5 hour cutoff is only if you are dosing every 4 hours. If you are dosing every 3 hours, then the cutoff if 4 hours. One hour past whatever your dosing schedule is. If you dose every 3 hours, and then miss by 5 hours, that is 2 hours past, and is probably too much. But again, we are all different, but in general, I would stick with the 1 hour rule. Jackie In frequent-dose-chelation Jada wrote: That's not bad really. None of us has all perfect rounds. 4 hrs and 20 minutes is still within the 5 hour cut off. And it only happend one time on two separate rounds. These things happen...as long as we don't do it every round or all the time I think it's ok. > > I have completed 12 rounds of ALA/DMSA so far. > > Unfortunately not all rounds were 'perfect': > > 1.
