thanks for the reply veggiemom, I feel like I have moved some mecury around ,I started my 4 month post amalgam mercury organ dump last month and wanted to lessen the symtoms with dmsa and ala , but think It is making things worse for me ,don't know wheather to continue with the chelation or not ,I just do not want to get any worse than this , also you had mentioned that you crashed on day 5 , were you chelating 3 days on then taking a 7 day break ? please let me know ,one good thing that has not happened on this round compared to the last round was that my sinuses didn't get all messed up , I have to find a silver lining where ever I can .
