hi linda,, no i wouldnt dare ask my doctor for DMSA, she already thinks im mad, im just about squeezing 2 grains of Armour thyroid out of her, she really does live in a bubble and thinks all my symptoms can be sorted with antidepressants, she prescribed prozac which made me so ill that i havnt got over it and its been over a year since i took the last tablet. I hope you have an understanding doctor! it helps so much if you have someone on your side.
i was never tested for mercury, i dont think theres any need, i had amalgams since childhood, vaccines as a baby which afterwards i went blue and had to stay in hospital, then loads more vaccines in my teenage years, it affected my thyroid,so had to have most of it out. I had piece of amalgam stuck in my jaw for months on end, so thet probably didnt help. I would get tested if i had more money but the last 2 yrs my health has been a money pit, apart from amalgam removal with not much protection, i had cavitation surgery, also supplements cost a bomb. if i had the money, i would get mmy adrenals tested to see where i am, rather than mercury.
I think my levels have lowered, this time last year, i was very sensetive to anything, ie,chelation, saunas, enemas but now i can do iany thing without any effects,i put it down to being on the right meds for my thyroid,it has relieved my depression alot and i can participate in life so much better now, before taking armour, i had no emotions sometimes and my poor kids suffered, but then i would get too emotional,i was so unstable, so you could say i feel alot more stable these days,i still get off days though, but thats mercury creeping up on me im sure.
