I saw my doctor on Tuesday and I told him that the DMPS is too much for me. He put me on DMSA, 100 mg every other day. I will see if I can tolerate that and I will keep on taking algin and vitamin C. I plan to be tested for mercury again in about a month and that will require another infusion of DMPS.

Thanks for the information about thyroid problems. My feet burn every day. However, they are totally flat and I am about 50 pounds overweight so that may be the cause. I can have surgery on my feet to raise my arches (requires a long recovery period) but before I resort to major surgery while I'm in a weakened state I want to address other issues.

Thanks for all of the information and support that you have given me.
