"I definitely had -- when my amalgams were in -- elevated temperature, but Laura had lowered temperature and was always cold."

I have had below normal body temperature, and often feel too hot. Very strange. I guess the mercury affects the hypothalamus.

So you have no reaction at all to the DMSA? I guess that is a good sign, although the chances for a reaction increases as the round progresses. Perhaps it might mean that you need a higher dosage, or that you don't have much in the way of heavy metals outside your nervous system, and that you need ALA together with the DMSA to flush out the mercury from your nervous system. DMSA usually doesn't provoke strong reactions with moderate doses. ALA is much more likely than DMSA to cause a strong reaction. You should feel something though, at least a mild reaction.
