Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi everyone, I have done 8 rounds on DMSA at 12.5 and 18.5mg. I have not had any rounds in the last two weeks because of travel and illness. I would like to add ALA this round and thought I would start with 6 mg ALA, 12.5mg DMSA ----your thoughts. Can I start my first day with DMSA and add ALA 2nd day? Will not doing rounds the last two weekends increase my symptoms if I add ALA - anyone else's experience. Those are my questions for now. Thanks in advance. Colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a sensible starting dose. If you are in really bad shape or feel you are very, very sensitive, you could start lower, of course. > Can I start my first day with DMSA and add ALA 2nd day? I often do at least several doses, sometimes a full day or more of DMSA (or DMPS) before adding the ALA. I am not sure if anyone else does that, but I find it helpful. > Will not doing rounds the last two weekends increase my symptoms if I > add ALA - anyone else's experience. I didn't chelate for the entire month of December. Besides being a basket-case after that much time off, the first day or two of my first round in January were more uncomfortable than usual. I would look to your own experience first. Have you ever skipped two weekends before (or even one weekend)? If not, then you don't know how you will respond to that and adding ALA in an already uncertain situation just adds more uncertainty. If it were me, I would do a normal DMSA only round first and then after a normal amount of off time, I would add ALA on the next round. -- > Those are my questions for now.
