I am also recovering fom severe CTS in both hands. 10 minutes of typing would bring on numbness esp in the last two fingers. In addition, various foods inflame my nerves. Eating jalepenos gives me a icy/hot feeling in my hands. I also have sensative nerves in my back/legs (sciatica), jaw and ear (tinnitus). Thus far I have finished 3 rounds of low dose chelation. Each round is 3 days of DMSA every 3 hrs totaling 300mg. The last one seems to have aggravated the nerves in my hands, jaw and ear. What chelation protocol/medication are you using?
