I'm sorry you are so rough, Dawn. I don't know what to advise about the DMSA. It's not something I am going to use because I have heard it's risky. I think that without proper medical attention, it might be safer to do things as natural as possible - rather than make things worse for ourselves by "mixing" the wrong things. This is just my opinion, admittedly I am phobic of such things due to the OCD I have suffered from. But my personal motto is slowly but surely.
