Round 6: DMPS Begins

I started ~9mg of DMPS yesterday afternoon. So far no hives at all and I am doing great. I have no idea how long I'm going on this round and will just play it by ear. I have enough pills made up for 7 days, but I don't believe I will do that. There were some warning signs of hives beginning to form at the end of day 6 last time, so I think maybe 5-6 days is where I'm aiming.

One thing I've noticed while taking any type of chelator is that it tends to make my bladder hurt. It feels like a UTI or bladder infection, but there is nothing there. At least nothing that my strips can catch. I used to have this many many moons ago. I think before I even started my blog and to this day I don't even know what stopped it from happening. It may have been Vitalzym? The one time I did have an infection, so I will have to keep an eye on that and go get tested if it gets bad.

I am trying to drink enough water to make myself pee at least every 2-3 hours to flush everything out. In the summer there are times where I don't pee much, but I'm going to make myself keep drinking until I do.

Oh I am also taking 1 pill of EDTA (calcium form) in the AM this round to see if that helps or makes anything worse. Our bathtub is testing for lead AGAIN, so that's fun.
