URGENT! discontinuing our 2nd round of DMSA?

June 3, 2006

Hi folks,

can anyone give me a quick response to this one? I started round #2 on DMSA

(TD) for my 4 yo yesterday afternoon. He was kind of upset/crying a lot/and

acting more " autistic " already prior to the first dose, after school, but I did

not think of much since this happens a lot. Anyhow, I started round 2 at 3 pm,

and dosed it every 3-4 hours since then, 0.2 ml each time which equals about 46

mgs per dose, as prescribed. He did not have a problem with this dosage last

time, other than some yeast flare up.

Anyhow, last night (after 4 dosed of DMSA) he started vomitting. He vomitted

about 3 times, and took in nothing other than some water. We are going slow on

water cause he seems to throw up anything that goes down. I tried giving him

probiotics (was that a good idea?) and it stayed down. Later, I added 2

virastop enzymes as I thinnk his vomting is viral, maybe he got it from school,

and it just seems to coincide with the DMSA round? What do you think?

He is sleeping right now, looks pale but has not vomited since the morning. He

looks tired, not sure if lethargic, just looking sick. Does not have a fever

(yet).

My next dose of DMSA id due now in 30 minutes and I don't know if I should be

giving it to him or not. Please advise as soon as you are able to. If I don't

hear from anyone, I think I will stop the round. Please let me know what would

be the wisest thing to do, and perhaps post some guidelins for the future.

I appreciate it so much! Hope to hear back from someone soon.

Yours,
