That's a pretty hefty dose for many, but if you can handle it, then stick with it. It appears that DMSA does indeed help many with the side effects of ALA, but does not remove them completely as you have discovered.

Do you know how many rounds you have done altogether? I mean at any dose. Can you say how long you've been chelating for overall?

I'll be interested to hear how things go for you as time goes on. How do you feel inbetween rounds? Are you noticing gradual improvements as time goes on? Some people feel worse on round and better off round, others can feel better ON round and worse off round and even that can alternate!

Sometimes it's hard to explain when you feel better in one way, yet worse in another as some symptoms are exacerbated.
