Bad travelling while chelating experience

[Guest guest]

I'm 15 months post amalgam removal and up to round 18 on 25mg of

DMSA. I also just started on adding c 6mg of ALA, and that went

well, esp when I switched to a purer brand. I had been struggling

too with yeast and neutrophils and had finally settled down on a 3

days on, 11 days off schedule.

Everything was fine until I had to take a two-week trip to London.

Going away for the weekend is hard enough, but making sure I had

enough of all of my pills for two weeks was just too much to handle.

I had all of my vitamins/minerals, but by the time I realised I

didn't have enough DMSA to do a round in England, it was too late to

order it so it would arrive before I left. Since my rounds are every

other weekend, I figured it would be fine. I would just have an

extra-long gap between rounds. But brought along the half-round I

had, just in case.

Ha ha, it was not fine. As the days for my scheduled round came and

went, my mood started to fluctuate. I thought I could handle it,

until the day I woke up in tears and didn't see any sign of

stopping. Of course at this point it was way too late to order any

DMSA to arrive here in London. Should I take the half round and take

the hit of any redistribution that would happen? Would it even do

any good?

Then it hit me that I could split the capsules and do a full round on

12.5mg of DMSA. It took me a while in my addled state to figure out

how I'd do this, not having brought any empty capsules along. But

with my GF's help, I emptied out some Glutamine capsules (and with

breaks to clear the tears out of my eyes), I put a full round

together.

This worked. Somewhat. I stopped crying. I'm two days into it and

almost functional. I'm just in this state that is very odd. It

could be all in my mind, but I feel like I imagine an autistic person

does. I feel perfectly calm when alone, but communicating with

others, making eye contact, verbalising feelings, are all

extraordinarily fraught and difficult. This is not fun staying with

my sister and her kids. I wish I was at home. And I also had a

really weird experience on a boat yesterday. I thought I was up for

an outing, but when I got on this boat, whenever the engines revved

up, I don't know what it did to my brain, but I couldn't stop

sobbing. Then when the engine died down, I'd be fine again.

So I'm not sure what to do when I go home. I know I have to wait at

least three days after I finish this round before I chelate again.

But should I wait 11 days like I was doing before? Should I just do

the regular 25mg of DMSA, leaving out the ALA that I recently added?

I take the plane tomorrow. I just hope that airplane engines have

nothing in common with the engines on the fricking boat...
