With the 10mg dex injection, 60mg of pred, benedryl and zyrtec, I am still getting hives and I can write on my skin. lol <br /><br />I think I may have gotten bronchitis from the hospital too, so this is just lovely. My immune system is very weak right now. <br /><br />Overall though I am actually doing OK on the high doses of steroids. I was very concerned about it. I'm not sure what I will do from here on out. I want to stay on the DMPS because I feel it does a better job of binding up the metals. DMSA I was getting hives while on round at times, so that suggests metals weren't getting bound by it and resettling.<br /><br />Longer rounds and a smaller dose are a good idea, but I still think I will have hives no matter what. When the hives no longer show up off-round I will know I've made some progress. Until then though, I have to just play it safe and suffer through this.<br /><br />I don't recommend anyone do what I'm doing though. This can be dangerous, but I'm willing to take the risks involved.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515068888663868718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540394361537635721.post-55895188697163398642011-04-26T07:52:09.841-04:002011-04-26T07:52:09.841-04:00OMG Dana! this sounds pretty horrendous. It does ...OMG Dana! this sounds pretty horrendous. It does sound like you are allergic to the mercury redistribution after the round. The round itself may be painless as you are actually binding the metals so they can't hurt you, but when you have stopped taking the DMPS the loose metals spark an immune response.<br /><br />Sounds like you need to seriously lower the dose to reduce the amount of metals captured by the DMPS, do longer rounds and chelate regularly. I have found chelating hard again after taking a break. I think it's important to mop up the metals regularly, not let them build up so that when you do chelate you are moving a lot more than you would if you chelated frequently. I still only tolerate 12.5mg of DMSA - after all these years! Anything else just makes me feel awful.<br /><br />I am making an appointment today for NAET therapy - which is supposed to reduce the body's allergic response. I am hoping that this will help with my hypersensitivity to mercury :-/<br /><br />Good luck<br /><br />Nicolaimgehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648278070388195442noreply@blogger.com
