Increased DMSA past the AC guidelines and we see lots of lead...ANDY?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I upped my son's DMSA to 50mgs every 4 hours the last 2 rounds. He does very

well so far (also 25mgs ALA), no changes as far as tolerance goes. I did a

random DDI UTM and we see lead in the mid yellow for the first time. Along with

it comes some minor improvements in abstract thought and a little less anxiety

during homework. Still zero mercury.

He weighs 62lbs, so this is outside the 1/8-1/2mg per lb. Just wanted to post

this in case others who have kids who tolerate higher doses are questioning if

they should try to push the guideline limits (for Andy's recommendations).

For Andy: do you have problems with this dose level if it is tolerated? I have

no plans to increase it more.

Thanks,

Pam
