Round 18 complete.

Well, I just completed round 18. I'm on my 2nd day off round and it took this long for redistribution to set in. It started with being really edgy, then that turned into being downright angry. Then the dull ache that settles behind my head and down my shoulders. I first began this round when I first got off ship. I tried 50mg of DMSA and 60 mg of ALA. I got three doses into it and realized that It was waaay too much. while on ship I attempted to do rounds and got one under my belt. 25mg of DMSA only. It was great. The engine room is really hot so I sweat a  lot. As I attempted to do more rounds, sleep become a problem and I can't afford to be tired while on ship so I scrapped chelating while at sea...maybe I'll attempt to do 1 every hitch. When I got back from being out at sea, my tolerance or detox pathways for some reason couldnt handle the larger doses. I guess I cant go from high doses to lower ones. So this round, because the 1st attempt was too high a dose I went low again....low for me. 25 mg of DMSA and 25 MG of ALA. It felt wonderful. I was able to clear ou a lot of the brain fog as well as the unwanted emotions...Still a bit edgy at times but thats expected. So I think I'm gonna stay a bit low this time. No rushing. I was up to 100 mg of DMSA and 120 mg of ALA but it really knocked me through a loop. panick attacks for two straight days, no bueno ! =)

  I've been contemplating on moving for the remainder of my chelation. I'm more of an out doorsy guy...I love the mountains and with my job I'm blessed enough to live anywhere in the U.S. So I'm contemplating Western north Carolina. I don't know when or even "if"that'll happen. even though I have that desire, its God who directs my steps. I'm steadily praying, seeking His face in whether this is my emotions wanting to move or this is His Spirit calling me to come and rest awhile. Those who know what its like to be sick from the effects of mercury poisoning can understand the desire to come away to a place of rest and do that very thing. My rest is in God and though I can do that anywhere. There's something appealing about being in the mountains, taking in the fresh, crisp mountain air. Just spending time with Jesus, As a husband and a wife who takes a break from everything and goes to a place of beauty and paradise, soaking in all that is around them as they reconnect with one another so I desire to do with God.

  I have one more day off round and I'm going to try and bang out 2 rounds, back to back....6 straight days. That will bring me to finishing round 20 which a Youtube video would be due ;)
