Ah, well it usually gets worse after removal, sometimes real bad.. For me months of kidney pains, brain fog, salivation, adrenal issues. It started out quite badly for me, tried using B12 for chelation and got some weird side-effects like waves of electric shocks traveling through body, and heart problems. I've heard some get this from DMSA too. Considering this, now 1.2 years after removal and I'm like a new person. Just bad that I didn't know what I was doing in the beginning, although in retrospect, you can't do much else than supportive stuff in the beginning.
