Hi Mikey

It's not intensive from a dose point of view - I have been at 17mg DMSA every 3 hours, 4 days on 4 days off for about six months. It feels intensive because I would quite like a break, but it's like my body has got used to that pace of detox, and if I don't go on round 4 days after finishing the last round, I feel particularly horrible, and have symptoms which I know will go if I take the DMSA. So I go on round.

I hope when my body has slowed down its detox, I shall be able to take longer breaks, and get some sleep!!! I am now sleeping better than I did when I was very sick, and I hope my body is healing. There are plenty of good signs - many of my symptoms have disappeared - but I still feel hungover and fluey most of the time, obviously fatigued, and I have a permanent metal taste in my mouth which gets better on round. In the four days between rounds the metal taste gets worse that I chelate to get rid of it. It drives me crazy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I have also started adding in ALA - I will do one day per round with ALA for a bit - and see how that goes.
