Round 5 – DMSA – update

DMSA 6mg, dosing every 3 hours even waking at night, 3 days on, 4 days off. I have been amalgam free almost 6 weeks.

Phew! I have finally found the dose and timings that suit me.
Round 4 was rather nasty, but I learned a lot from it and this round 5 was pretty smooth, any symptoms where very mild. I could go about my life in a normal manner.

After the last round I had to reduce dosing times to every 3 hours, I also halved the dose to 6mg and that was perfect. I did think about reducing the time further, but I have tinkered enough for now, this round was what I have seen others describing as good, manageable round.

I did have a little redistribution event afterwards, but again it was much less than all 4 previous rounds, just a little itching,
heartburn and metal mouth.

I also changed my start and end times, so that I took my last dose at 6pm, which hopefully allows some redistribution to happen when I'm asleep. That seems to work too.
