Hi all-

I’ve been lurking for a couple of months and finally got all the amalgam out

(had a couple of crowns that ended up having amalgam under them). I’m

working with and just started DMPS 20 mg every 8 hours.

Existing symptoms have worsened somewhat since starting DMPS.

Quick history:

Age 63

-- “Mouth full” of amalgams taken out in 1997 using dam and had removal in

proper order according to charge but no other precautions. Didn’t feel any

different afterwards (actually the dentist back then left one tiny filling

that was removed last year by my regular dentist using no precautions).

-- Chronic fatigue symptoms started in late 1980s after several broken

amalgams replaces with more of the same.

-- Have had some low thyroid and low adrenal symptoms since early childhood

(in retrospect).

-- Taking some HC and a little Armour thyroid. Just realized (from

stopthethyroidmaddness.com) that perhaps I should have increased Armour

instead of staying at ½ grain for 2 months. Symptoms haven’t changed. Temps

still instable – range from 96.6 to 97.7 am and never do get to 98.6 during

the day.

My main question relates to adrenal support. had me do a

hydrocortisone push (1 week at 80 mg taken all at once with breakfast, 1

week at 50 mg, 1 week at 20 mg). I felt the best at 50 mg taken at one time

and haven’t found an ongoing dose that has worked as well. At 50 mg I lost

all food cravings, had a little more energy, lost weight without effort, had

a LOT more motivation. Taking doses 4 times per day hasn’t done much,

although I sleep much better with 5 mg at bedtime. I’m not asking for

“medical advice,” but does anyone have any thoughts about the better

response taking a fairly high dose all at once? I might also add that my

Canary Club (DiagnosTechs) saliva test showed my cortisol levels to be above

normal in the AM and normal the rest of the day and evening. DHEA was 1

(very low) and estradiol and progesterone were off the charts high (I’ve

since mostly discontinued creams (still use a tiny bit of progesterone cream

once in a while) with little to no change in symptoms).

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. I’m going to pose the

question to one of the thyroid/adrenal groups too. Thanks so much.

Dana
