Re: Sleepy (and fluctuations) during chelation

[Guest guest]

I get sleepy during rounds too, but there's fluctuations. I'm actually

just on my 2nd round now (of DMPS, 10mg every 6 hours). What I've

experienced in these 2 rounds is fluctuations where sometimes I feel a

mild, but very noticeable, reduction in physical symptoms, as well as

vast improvement in clearing of brain fog (RARE for me) -- but other

times, I feel more lethargic and sluggish than usual, and have even

taken 3 long, deep naps during the afternoon, on 3 separate days on

round (rare for me).

Any idea why one would get more lethargic/sleepy during rounds, and

need to take long naps?

Also, why would I get so much fluctuations *during* rounds -- I thought

that was supposed to happen more so at the *end* of a round, when

levels of the chelator are dropping and redistribution occurs? I

thought during a round, symptoms are kept more " steady " b/c of the

steady blood levels of chelator circulating? (am I wrong?)
