Hi Katson,

Damn! This is not good. I wonder if you would be a candidate to take DMSA for awhile to see if that might stablise things. You can resume ALA later, but I'd take it WITH the DMSA, as it seems to keep things more stable.

I'm concerned about what you are experiencing. This is not good. I only know that I have experienced extreme exhaustion during chelation and other symptoms, but not paralysis (or near paralysis). So yes, the mercury must be in those very areas for you to get such extreme symptoms from chelation.

I wish I knew what to suggest to try and make you feel more normal. Sadly, some of this may not be avoidable when you are trying to remove mercury from areas like that. I've heard some people complain of a burning brain too when mercury is being pulled out from there.

I am glad you have stopped the round. But I am concerned about the serious nature of your situation and being alone. Keep in touch on here at the very least. Ring somebody if necessary!

Did you feel any pain/burning/aches at all around that area as you were chelating?
