Tracy it is devastating when you see what these things can do to a person and those that were previously very energetic and happy and as you said "strong willed". This stuff or other toxicities like it seem to have an effect on a human being that goes beyond description.

I am racking my brains as to what has happened with you in this. I keep thinking that perhaps you had too much done in one session that may have set off a MASSIVE dumping of stored mercury into your system. Because I know that for some the removal of all their mercury can result in an extended misery of slow detoxing from the organ mercury beginning to dump back out.

This can take months/years. It can be sped up with chelation, but so often you find the person is so toxic that they can barely handle ANY chelation at all. In fact even supplements can send them into a reaction. So what are they supposed to do? Wait the agony out?

For you, I wonder if this might be what is happening. It occured with me and I was a basket case. I did indeed start to heal finally but it took a few years. Unfortunately though I started to heal and get happier, I got hit later with the infection and other problesm which all but annihiliated my immune system, so now I battle with that instead (which in a sense is worse because there is no 'detoxing" from this). It's just a condition now.

You seem, like myself, to have multiple factors going on at onetime. One thing offsetting another to where your body is almost trying to juggle all things at once and it is just overwhelming.

Tracy I really wished the DMSA might have helped you as it is quite a few on this forum. It saddens me that it was yet another difficulty rather than a help. I dont know if you've tried the ALA yet....but at this point according to andy, (3 months or longer) after amaglam removal you are free to use it. Though the dosage side is irritating to take it every 3 hours around the clock, if you try it for a few days, I wonder if this might help (at a really low low dose).

It is the main chelator, DMSA is optional, ALA essential (according to andy). Could this be a possibility sometime for you to try?

I hope you hang in there either way! Hard as it is, just know you got friends on here!
