Yesterday I had my doctor take my BP/HR while sitting which was 145/90 ~70 HR and then I stood up. My BP stayed the same, but my HR was over 120 immediately upon standing. POTS diagnosis requires the HR to increase by 30bpm or hit 120 within 10 minutes of standing, so I completely blow that out of the water. Finally this doctor saw firsthand exactly what I go through on a daily basis. Most people look at me and think I'm insane because I look completely normal. Any way...

I will have to call the pharmacy back on Monday to see the costs. I price checked before but want to double check again. I will likely have to throw this on a credit card to even pay for it. That's part of trying to get better. I spent all my money (thousands and thousands of dollars) on other crap that didn't work, so I have to keep trying until I find the right thing.

I was going to start with 50mg every 8 hours. Probably 3 day rounds for now unless something really bad happens to me. At this rate I cannot see DMPS being any worse than DMSA which makes me break out in rashes, hives and makes my neutrophils and WBC counts go below lab range.

No I do not plan on using ALA at least for the time being. There are studies that show it redistributes mercury into parts of the body that had no mercury to begin with.

The only people I have seen cured at all were using DMPS either orally or IV. Not a single person with chronic mercury poisoning has been cured with DMSA. I don't think it will be rapidly, but at least they eventually got better. I will give this ~3 months (90 capsules would be enough rounds for 2.5 months worth) and if I see no improvements at all then I will re-evaluate at that time to see what I want to do next.

The problem with those on these health forums is they become too attached to 1 specific protocol or idea and cannot admit when something isn't working. You all can stay sick by trying the same thing over and over again with little to no results. Meanwhile I will try a thousand different things until I find one that works!!!!!
