Hi,

I did round 2 dosing DMSA 6.25 mg every 3 hours (instead of 4) during

the day and every 4 hours at night, thanks to 's advice. The

more frequent dosing seems to work better for me as I had virtually no

symptoms.

---------Good to hear, and it just takes some experimenting in the beginning

to find out what works best for you, because we are all

different.---------Jackie

I am tempted to increase to 12.5 on round 3, but think it might be

better to stick with 6.25 mg for awhile more as I am hypersensitive

and have MCS. It just seems like such a small amount! Is it really

doing anything!?!

-----------As TK suggested, sticking with the same dose for a few rounds is

best. DeanSA said his rule was 3 rounds with no side effects before he would

increase the dosage. If you want to try a smaller increase, then you could

divide the cap in three, getting about 8mg per dose.

As and I have said, you want to find the right dose for *you*, not too

much, not too little, so side effects are tolerable so that you can chelate on a

regular basis. So don't worry about the amount compared to others, just do what

works for you.------------Jackie

After spilling DMSA all over me, the outside of my empty capsules, and

other places too, I'm wondering if you can suggest a more systematic

or scientific way to fill capsules? I seriously doubt I got the same

amount in each of the 4 caps (using 25 mg cap as the parent)! I just

eyeballed it and did the best I could.

-----------That's what most of us do, just eyeball it as close as we can. But

here is a post by Ed explaining how he uses a capsule filling machine and how he

gets the right amount in each one.----------Jackie
