Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 It was taking sodium everyday in electrolyte drinks that eventually brought my bp up to normal. I didn't try Florinef (don't know enough about it) because I thought that needs for that hormone would change with time, and people in the Addison's groups reported difficulty with determining the right dose. Sometimes I include potassium - I am very careful to only include a small amount if I determine that I need it, by taste. My bp still goes down and my heart rate still goes up high at times. > > Hi all > > I am 2 years post amalgam removal, and have chelated with DMSA for > about 45 rounds, and added in ALA for the last six.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi I don't take salt, because it makes me swell (and I'm vain!). Maybe I should. Do you know if serum sodium any reflection on the body's need for salt? Mine has been high in the range for a couple of years, but is dropping back to mid-range now. I take a small dose of potassium most days, as I read that Florinef can make you low in this. I find that the heart racing is worse when I take ALA - so that must be adrenal stress, although it doesn't get better with higher doses of pred. I also have mild gastroparesis, which can be down to dysautomnia, and dilated pupils occasionally . Do you know how does mercury affect the central nervous system, or is it because my adrenals are in such bad shape? thanks for any input Nicola - In frequent-dose-chelation , " " wrote: > > It was taking sodium everyday in electrolyte drinks that eventually > brought my bp up to normal.
