Re: HELP PLEASE....DMPS feedback

[Guest guest]

Hi. That's quite a report. I'll add mine, which is nowhere near as remarkable.

When I was a kid I got exposed to herpes, perhaps as a product of vaccine

exposure (a dozen in some 3 months). These viruses are known to " burn

themselves out " and this one seemed to. My last cold sore was when I was 23.

I remember it well and it had been preceded by a long time without one. More

than 20 years later, on my first round of chelation, guess what? Another one!

It didn't show up again until ... due to a relative being sick, I couldn't

chelate for about 5 months. I started up chelation and - there it was again.

Not only that, but it appeared in the exact same spot on my lip.

Dave.

Some of you all may remember the follwoing passage from a post after

the end of my fifth round of chelation. The symptoms described below

occurred just hours after my very last dose of my fifth round of

chelation...

" I woke shortly after midnight with a deep aching,cramp in my right

> muscles, they began to cramp.

> The right shoulder is the site of a work-related overuse injury so

> OMG!!!! What a hell night!

This previous post went on to describe some other stuff that went on

as well (gastric discomfort). The reason for today's post is that I

have had a second, more severe episode of the nerve pain I described

above. This time also in the shoulder, but now the left shoulder.

Also occurring at the end of a round of chelation (seventh round,

fifth day of five, DMPS 12.5 @ 6AM - 2PM - 10 PM. As before my

symptoms were at their most acute about 2-3 hours after a dose of DMPS

and have been slooowwwly improving as I get farther away from the dose

time. One difference, this time I have positively identified the

problem as post-herpetic neuralgia aka PHN. Look it up on the

shingles-PHN Yahoo group. I had a shingles episode, pretty mild,

without much if any nerve pain about 3 years ago. Yesterday, I felt

the chickenpox like blisters try to pop out in several locations,

there was tenderness, some swelling, itching but no blister formation.

This time, when I was awoken early this morning unable to find a

comfortable sleeping position, due to this radiating nerve pain, I

realized immediately that this was related to the tenderness under my

arm and the hive like symptoms I had experienced last night. Further

research turned up this description of PHN

" The pain may start during an acute rash of herpes but the main

problem is pain that persists after the herpes rash has gone. Common

symptoms of Post-Herpetic Neuralgia include a constant deep pain,

with repeated stabs, or needle pricking pain. "

I post this for your general information but also because the two

incidences of this very uncomfortable, debilitating condition both

occurred while chelating. The first time the symptoms steadily

diminished as I got farther away from my last dose of DMPS. Too soon

to tell for sure, but I am not going to take my 10 PM final dose of

DMPS because the farther away I get from my 2 PM dose the better I

feel. It is common knowledge that the herpes family of viruses are

opportunistic, they lurk in your system and " go symptomatic " when the

immune system is depleted. Is chelation by definition hard on the

immune system? I assume so, but you know what they say about assumming!
