Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have only recently started DMSA (now on round 3 of 3,5 days on and 3,5 off, so probably in dumping phase), started developing these funny nervous pressure points in my (mostly my feet and hands), but also to lesser extent in other joints as well. Basically these points feels like a crossing between your funny bone in your elbow and being pricked lightly with a heated needle, and they seem to be interconnected, i.e. when stepping on the clutch with my left foot, it created a light shooting pain that I would sometimes also feel at that point in right hand, or knee, etc. There is sometime also a lingering dull electric feeling (not pins and needles or the " normal " (well by way of speaking while chelating) tingling) in my feet, upper leg, underarm, face, for a couple of minutes. This has been deteriorating for the past few days and is MOST ANNOYING and slightly debilitating - you want to minimise walking in order not to trigger it. It feels like my entire peripheral nervous system is inflamed or irritated. Anyone experienced this before, and any solutions to make it go away would be very welcome please.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have experienced these sensations, not with chelation but with spine problems. You might want to find an expert to evaluate your spine. I found one physician specialist who was able to pin point problem areas, some physiotherapists are good at this, and several really experienced massage therapists who specialize in cranio sacral or myofascial release techniques were able to find problem areas, and I know an acupuncturist who has been very helpful. The goal would be to find the problem areas and use gentle techniques to take pressure off of the inflamed nerves. You didn't mention what dose of DMSA you are using. You may want to lower the dose so as not to generate much more inflammation. In general, when I have electrical sensations, pins and needles type, numbness and tingling, it takes several months for the symptoms to gradually decrease until one day I notice they are not there anymore.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Jaco I think this is from the nerve/tissues being chelated and the mercury and other metals being removed. I have much buring in my legs/arms particularly around emf (electro magnetic fields) I have that dull aching jab like pain a lot in my soles of my feet since I have been chelating. It has been worse in the first few months and again recently (6-7,50 month of chelation) prescribed my gabapentin for nerve related pain and this seems to have lessened these pins and needles. I am currently on 20 mgs dmps every 3 hrs (4 at night) and 50 mgs ala every 3 hrs (4 at night) However i had to start very low, I think i started at 3-4 mgs of ALA (end of February)and 4 mgs dmsa (end of November 2007). I went off DMSA (switched to DMPS after i saw January 3-2008) Good luck and keep chelating. > > I have only recently started DMSA (now on round 3 of 3,5 days on and 3,5 > off, so probably in dumping phase), started developing these funny nervous > pressure points in my (mostly my feet and hands), but also to lesser extent > in other joints as well. > > > > Basically these points feels like a crossing between your funny bone in your > elbow and being pricked lightly with a heated needle, and they seem to be > interconnected, i.e. when stepping on the clutch with my left foot, it > created a light shooting pain that I would sometimes also feel at that point > in right hand, or knee, etc. > > > > There is sometime also a lingering dull electric feeling (not pins and > needles or the " normal " (well by way of speaking while chelating) tingling) > in my feet, upper leg, underarm, face, for a couple of minutes. > > > > This has been deteriorating for the past few days and is MOST ANNOYING and > slightly debilitating - you want to minimise walking in order not to trigger > it.
