Hi, and thanks to you both. I'm surprised at what's happening -- I didn't actually expect anything to happen, which is perhaps why I wasn't as cautious about the dose as I should have been. The headache isn't intense, just persistent, and isn't responding very well to paracetamol. The nausea is the worst problem at the moment. I don't want redistribution after less than a day of chelation so I'll see how long I can hold out.

Gdawson, do you remember where you read those figures about chelators? I'm on Andy's frequent-dose chelation list and they are happy to tell people to try chelating with ALA alone. If it redistributed so much mercury, I wouldn't have thought they would do that, it's like two steps forward and one step back. For me, there's unfortunately no way I can go back to the DMSA. I tried several months ago and my adrenals were severely stressing at miniscule doses.

Fingers crossed, LOL. Maybe I'm on the way to getting better now.
