Right, ive just started Round 6 of DMSA chelation this afternoon, after about a month's break. Didnt plan on that much time off of course.

I was tempted to raise the dose slightly but, VERY glad i didnt. Just the usual 12.5mg in orange juice, effects came on quite quickly... fatigue, red/dry eyes... kept drinking water.

Then i had this dumb idea that i might be able to risk a couple of boiled eggs for tea... thing is *sometimes* i can get away with sulphur foods but evidently not any more.

Had a nap and an hour or so later started getting palpitations / strained heartbeat.
Next thing MAJOR seizure while lying on the couch. It seemed to last longer than usual, felt like i couldnt breathe. The TV was on in the background and i could still hear/make sense of the voices. I just kept wishing it would finish, it felt really deep this time. Anyway, i think i awoke for a second and then actually passed out. Was very dizzy/disorientated when i came to, obviously.

So yeah, my theory is that the additional sulphur + starting DMSA again after a month off is *probably* what has initiated this. I have kept going with doses, altho my instinct is to stop. But if mercury has been mobilised anyway then it makes sense to keep going..? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Well i hope im right.

At the moment i have a slight headache, with odd 'stabbing' pains + neck stiffness... and am admittedly dreading going to bed later *sigh*
But otherwise, same as 'usual' really.

hate relying on guesswork but what else can i do... got an appointment with a neurologist shortly, i wonder what his Blank Look will be like <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
