Re: Another update

I think you probably did way too high a dose for your own body. Try going down to something way low, even if it is only 5 mg, and then do it on a 3 hour cycle.

Yesterday, I woke up with sore kidneys on the second morning of a round. Not a nice thing. I immediately stopped my round, eschewed all supplements yesterday, took some corn silk tea, and drank a good deal of water. I'm wondering if it was the DMSA, or possibly the baking soda I was taking every morning to alkalize my urine, or something else catching up with me, like iron supplements. In any case, I'm going to tread much more lightly. No iron for awhile, I'll look into alternatives to baking soda, and I'm cutting my DMSA in half (was 33, going to 17).

I may query Shelley at askshelley.com, as she is an expert on kidneys, or maybe one of the Yahoo groups. But long and short of it is that this stuff has to be done slowly.

The Epsom Salt baths should help you, and look into other opportunities to sweat, like mild sunbathing.

It is so sick what was done to us.
