Re:xpost- red itchy ankles 5 minutes after DMSA suppository

[Guest guest]

Wow. I think suppositories get into the blood stream pretty quickly. My

impression us that feet and ankle rashes say yeast or metal detox. But the fact

that he was writhing in discomfort bothers me. Our experience on DMSA has been

only good but DAN doc did say notify her of rashes -- so I'd call before you do

another one. How about oral? The caps are small?

Good luck.
