Headaches due to DMSA 25mg?

[Guest guest]

My husband has been chelating with DMSA. The previous 3 rounds have

been at 25 mg every 4 hours for the complete 3 days. We started the

entire chelation process gradually - 6.25mg for two rounds, followed

by 12.5mg for two rounds, and then the three rounds of 25mg each. He

had no problem with the first round of 25 mg.

But for the last two rounds he complained after the 5th or 6th dose

that he had a headache that seemed to initially start between the eyes

and then a few hours later also feel it in the middle top part of the

head. We thought maybe he was hungry, and it seemed to go away after

taking a snack, but it came back again. So the suspicion was

redistribution problems. I almost decided to stop the round, but

decided to continue with one more dose to see if it got worse - it did

not, and actually went away after the 2nd night of the round. So we

managed to finish the entire round without further problems. The only

other glitch was, when we went out to dinner and he could not resist

eating ice cream. On the way back I sensed (and he confirmed) that he

felt on edge.

He has had frequent sinus issues a year back, which improved with

supplements and diet control.

Is this how redistribution reactions are? Should one continue the

doses to finish the round? He has been eating gluten and sugary baked

goods - maybe 2 to 3 times a day - could that be the problem?

Sorry this was so long. Just want to figure out whether we need to

take a break from a few rounds or not, or cut back on the dosage etc.

We almost began ALA this last week (at 6.25) but decided to wait one

more weekend. Just as well!

Thanks
